Texas mother Shamaiya Deyonshana Hall, 25, is in arrest and faces three counts of capital murder after fatally stabbing three of her children and five other children during an unexpected CPS house visit.
According to reports, the event happened on March 3 in the late afternoon at a house in Italy, Texas.
A unannounced visit by Child Protective Services to the residence ended fatally.
The children, who are all siblings, were in “temporary CPS custody,” according to Tiffani Butler, who works for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. CPS authorities conducted an unannounced visit because they thought the mother would be having unsupervised contact with her children.
Butler says that CPS previously gave guardianship of the children, aged 6 and under, to another relative.

Upon conducting the surprise visit that Friday, the caseworker would end up calling 911 around 4 p.m.
When police arrived, they found three children dead, and two others injured.
According to the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office, a 6-year-old boy and 5-year-old twins (a boy and a girl) were found dead. The other two, a 4-year-old boy and a 13-month-old girl, were “seriously wounded” and rushed to local hospitals.
Ellis County Sheriff’s Deputy Jerry Cozby said that the suspect, the children’s mother, has since been detained and charged, and “there is no danger to the public at this time.”
“We are shocked by this incomprehensible tragedy and already working with law enforcement to investigate how this happened and why,” Butler said.
Hall has been charged with three counts of capital murder and is currently being held on $2 million bond on each charge.
