Mother of slain teen arrested for biting, choking daughter
DAYTON - Police arrested the 34-year-old mother of a recently slain teen on charges she hit, kicked, choked and bit her 14-year-old daughter on Thursday, April 9.
Kesha D. Kelly faces charges of domestic violence and assault after becoming irate because her daughter said she was going to call children services and report her “being drunk,” according to a Dayton police report.
Kelly is the mother of Damarion Flippin, who was murdered in November while at an RTA bus stop. Kelly was in court on Tuesday, April 7, to confront her son’s killer, Scott Cook Jr., who was sentenced to 13 years for Flippin’s murder.
The teen said Kelly was drunk Thursday when she came to their home in the 100 block of Iroquois Avenue at about midnight, the report stated.
Kelly started chasing her daughter through the house when the teen threatened to call authorities, the report stated. The teen fell while running. While on the floor, Kelly punched, kicked and choked her daughter, who began to bleed, according to the report.
Kelly also hit her daughter with a telephone, the report stated.
The teen was treated for minor injuries. Kelly is in the Montgomery County Jail in lieu of a $50,000 bond and is expected to appear in court April 27, according to jail records.
