Tyshael Elise Martin, a 34-year-old woman, is being accused of a heinous crime that has shocked the community. It is alleged that she commanded a 103-pound Rottweiler to attack and kill her ex-boyfriend's nine-year-old daughter, Jamaria Sessions. The Lake County Sheriff's Office has obtained CCTV footage that reportedly shows Martin giving instructions to the dog while holding its leash. In the video, Jamaria can be seen being viciously attacked by the Rottweiler while Martin kicks her as she lays motionless on the floor.
The incident took place at Jamaria's home in Montverde, Florida, on June 17. Two days later, deputies responded to a 911 call and found Jamaria with numerous injuries, including abrasions, bruises, burns, and possible bite marks. Tragically, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The discovery of the security footage led to Martin's arrest on Wednesday, and she is currently being held without bond at the Lake County Jail.
According to Lt. John Herrell, the footage shows Martin brutally beating Jamaria in the days leading up to her death. He described the footage as graphic and savage, stating that he had never seen anything like it in his time as a law enforcement officer. The cause of Jamaria's death was determined to be multiple blunt injuries to the head and other areas, as well as a thermal foot injury, and it has been ruled as a homicide.
Herrell also revealed that Jamaria's father, Lojuan Sessions, was in disbelief when he arrived at the scene. He had been under the impression that Jamaria had left on June 9 to visit family in California. It is also reported that Jamaria had been subjected to physical abuse in the past, such as being hit with objects and being forced to do strenuous exercises.
Martin has been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and neglect. She is expected to make her initial court appearance on Thursday, with her arraignment scheduled for September 23. Herrell expressed how difficult it has been for everyone involved in this case, from the detectives who had to investigate it to those who have had to read and talk about it. He described the whole situation as unimaginable and stated that the community is in shock over this horrific act.
