The stepfather of missing 4-year-old Maleah Davis has been taken into custody. The Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitives Task Force arrested Darion Vence this afternoon in Sugar Land. Vence is reportedly charged with evidence tampering linked to a human corpse. Vence was engaged to the mother of missing four-year-old Maleah Davis and is believed to be the last person who saw Davis alive. Vence will appear in court on Monday.
Vence had claimed that three men attacked him last week and abducted the girl.
A Houston activist is claiming Vence was spotted leaving his apartment with cleaning supplies. Quanell X told reporters there is camera footage of Vence with the items before Maleah Davis vanished last week. Quanell X claims Houston police took evidence from Vence's apartment. The missing girl's mother was with Quanell X at the time of the comments.
