The security camera recording reportedly showed the older child suffocating her cousin, who was sleeping in the top bunk, Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee’s statement said. Agee said that after Hollingsworth died, “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body.” The suspect has been charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. “I consider this to be one of the most disturbing violent acts committed by either an adult or juvenile that my office has prosecuted,” Agee said in the statement, adding that he plans to petition a judge to prosecute the suspect in adult court which would allow for “a lengthier sentence, whether that will be through incarceration or supervision with court-ordered conditions.” ‘The pain I’m feeling is unbearable’ Smith has now set up a GoFundMe to raise money that would be used to fund a funeral for her daughter.
