Mom suspected in fatal stabbing of 5-year-old in university housing

CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina --

UNC Police are investigating after a domestic-violence incident left a 5-year-old boy dead and two adults with injuries Sunday at UNC'S Baity Hill family housing community.

On Monday, authorities named the boy's mother, 34-year-old Ebony Oluwasegva, as a suspect in the case.


Charges have not been filed but are pending. They include murder and non-negligent manslaughter and attempted murder and non-negligent manslaughter.

The incident report lists Victor Oluwasegva, 32, as another person involved in the incident.

The violent episode happened in a single-family UNC housing residence Sunday about 12:10 a.m.

Police said a knife was used in the attack.


The two people injured were the parents of the child, UNC Police said.

The child's father was described as a UNC graduate student.
Police did not immediately release details of the attack, telling ABC11 only that "a suspect is currently receiving medical treatment." However, 911 calls reveal that the child's father made the emergency call, and he told dispatchers that his wife stabbed him repeatedly while he was asleep. Victor Oluwasegva told the dispatcher that he was stabbed in the head and face.

A neighbor said the incident happened on the first level of the apartment building.

Jessica Dyer said she is disturbed that a child died just steps from her home.


I'm a little bit on my toes," she said. "We have two kids, and I always felt safe here so to know something happened next door in a really safe environment is pretty scary."
She said she and her children were awakened by flashing lights and sirens.

"I heard it at about midnight," Dyer said. "Fire trucks pulled up, and I just assumed it was a fire alarm."

Fall semester classes begin Tuesday at the university.

Los Arboles Apartments - 17 Photos - Apartments - 201 4th St, Del Mar, Del Mar, CA - Phone Number

8 201 4th St Del Mar , CA 92014 (858) 481-9585 Been here for 5 months now. These are definitely old apartments; the floorplans aren't modern or laid out super efficiently. But if you want to live within line-of-sight to the ocean, this place is as affordable as it gets. The manager is hands-down one of the nicest dudes I've met and has been extremely accommodating to us. Although the property is old, it's clean and decently kept up. The pool and hot tub are nice. We're on the 2nd floor in a corner unit and it's been very quiet for us. We haven't had any issues with bugs or vermin of any sort; in fact, we keep our porch door wide open all day long so our kitties can get some fresh air. This results in maybe 1 fly per day inside. There are surfer trails very nearby that lead down the cliffs for beach access. Bottom line, if you're looking for luxury, don't live here. It's too old to ever be luxurious. But if you're looking for line-of-sight to t

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day
