An Ohio Mother is facing life in prison after she was caught on camera plowing her van into her boyfriend and a pedestrian who died from his injuries.
Taah’viya Chapman, 24, was taken into custody late last month on two counts of felonious assault and one count of child endangering after deliberately plowing her van into two pedestrians, one being the father of her child, according to Fox 19.
Chapman reportedly took her boyfriend, Jawon Lunsford to Kroger on August 31st, and while he was in the store Chapman went through his phone and saw some wild text messages between him and her sister, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced.
Chapman then noticed Lunsford walking out of the store and decided to run him over with the van. “SHE TOOK THIS THREE-TON VEHICLE AND PLOWED INTO HIM AND PLOWED INTO CHRISTOPHER GRIFFITH, AN INNOCENT MAN ON A CANE WALKING ACROSS A CROSSWALK,” DETERS SAID.
Video shows Chapman fleeing the van after the incident and running over to Lunsford. She then punches her boyfriend multiple times as their 8-month-old child was sitting in the car alone. A grand jury recently put in a child endangerment charge to Chapman’s long list of charges containing aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and attempted murder.
While in court last week, records surfaced that alleged Chapman previously lost custody of a 4Fox-year-old child that is now in the custody of her father. Her 8-month-old is in the custody of the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services.
