Cierre Wood Gets Life Sentence For Making Girl Exercise To Death
La’Rayah Davis died on April 9, 2019. The Las Vegas Coroner’s Office said it was due to blunt force injuries.
Newsweek reported that Wood, who described Davis as “chunky,” put her through a workout that caused her death. After he was arrested on April 10, 2019, he reportedly told police officers that he punished her by making her run sprints in the apartment. He also made her do sit-ups and wall squats, allegedly describing the punishment as “learning through fun.”
Davis reportedly could not finish the sit-ups and fell back, hitting her head on the floor. In addition, days before she died, Davis complained of chest pains after Taylor allegedly sat on her chest and stomach as punishment.
Davis’ mother, Amy Taylor, 31, admitted to police that she “popped” her daughter the day she died for bad behavior. She pleaded guilty earlier this year to second-degree murder and felony child abuse as part of a deal with prosecutors.
