An 8 years old boy in California was killed trying to protect his younger sister from their mother’s ex boyfriend. Dante Daniels, who had just started third grade at South Sacramento’s Oakridge Elementary, was brutally beaten with a hammer during early morning of September 1. He died from his injuries 6 days later.
A criminal complaint states that 23 years old Deandre Chaney Jr was performing a criminal lewd act on Dante’s 7 years old sister when little boy stepped in to help. Chaney, who pleaded no contest last year to a charge of failing to register as a sex offender, was ex boyfriend of Dante’s mother, 28 years old Elizabeth Salone. “The guy beat my grandson with a hammer. Down to his spine. They couldn’t save his brain” Monique Brown, the children’s grandmother said. The criminal complaint states that Chaney used lighter fluid during attack and at point turned hammer and a knife on Dante’s sister. “Trying to save his sister from this child molester and that’s why he was beat the worst” Brown added. According to an arrest warrant, children were home alone with Chaney when the attack happened.
Salone had asked him to watch her children while she took her brother to work. When she returned home, she heard 1 of her children crying. Salone said detectives that she was “struck at least 3 times” with a hammer from behind as she went to check on her child. Chaney then tied her up and poured lighter fluid on her. Police told he grabbed her car keys and some other items and left in Salone’s car. Chaney was captured a day after attack in Nevada hiding in someone’s backyard. Both Salone and her daughter survived, but Salone’s left eye was damaged during attack.“She will probably never see out of her left eye.
My granddaughter will need a lot of help” Brown said. Brown told even after Dante’s death, he’s continuing to help people. A 4 years old boy in California received Dante’s heart. Chaney was arraigned on murder, attempted murder and charged with lewd acts with a child under 14. Family started a GoFundMe as Salone and her daughter recover.
