The Houston man at the center of a grueling investigation into the death of 4-year-old Maleah Davis doubled down on his denial in a tearful jailhouse interview.
“I would never do anything to hurt her. That's not me. Ask anyone who knows me, and they'll tell you I'm not that type of dude and I was good with the kids," Derion Vence said Tuesday."I ain't no killer, bro."
Vence, who was caring for the toddler while her mom was away, is charged with tampering with evidence in connection with the case. Officers said he has not been cooperative throughout the investigation. Her body was discovered four weeks later in Hope, Arkansas, on the side of a road and wrapped in a black plastic bag. Police said Vence directed them to the location, although he denied any wrongdoing.
Investigators have not revealed how the young girl died. Vence initially told officers that she was abducted by three men, including one who knocked him out during a carjacking, but Houston Police Department Chief Art Acevedo said he never believed the story. Police located the family's car on the side of a road in Missouri City, Texas, and investigators said cadaver-sniffing dogs detected the scent of human remains in the vehicle.
