New mother murdered in Texas days after boyfriend released on “bail reform” after beating her – claiming he could not afford bail

New mother murdered in Texas days after boyfriend released on “bail reform” after beating her – claiming he could not afford bail

Feb 9, 2018 | Criminal Justice System, Harris County Texas, Texas |

“Less than a week since reporting her boyfriend beat her up, a brand new mother is dead and he is being investigated for murder, according to court records. Robert Graves, 35, is in jail, charged with assaulting a Harris County Sheriff’s deputy by biting him, but he’s at the center of a murder investigation, a prosecutor wrote in a court document requesting high bond. He was charged with beating up his girlfriend, Shanikia Johnson, last Friday. By the following Wednesday, she was dead. Graves, the father of her 2-week-old baby boy and her boyfriend, was arrested for assault. He was jailed and hit with a protective order. The next day, swearing he couldn’t come up with the $5,000 in bail money, he was released on an unsecured bond. … Less than a week since the alleged assault and jail release, Johnson, a reading specialist at Southmayd Elementary School, was dead.”
