She's charged with killing three of her kids and attempting to kill two others, and she was in court Tuesday to answer to those charges.

The time in court was brief. 25-year old Shamaiya Hall is under indictment for three counts of capital murder of children under age 10 and the attempted capital murder of two more.


On March 3rd, a CPS worker met with Hall in the Ellis County town of Italy. It was the worker's intention to take the children into custody, but what happened next was horrifying. Police say Hall killed three of the youngsters, but two other survived.

According to police records, Hall had been previously arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly stabbing her sister's boyfriend in 2017. And Hall's twin sister, Troyshaye Mone Hall, was arrested for allegedly stabbing and killing her 7-year-old daughter in June of 2021.

Hall is being held on $10 million bond. Her next court appearance will be in October.
