Shamaiya Hall, Texas mother stabs her five children killing 3 during unsupervised visit at a residence in Italy. Woman stabbed kids when CPS worker arrived at house unannounced. Suspect’s twin sister previously stabbed her 7 year old daughter to death.

A North Texas mother is accused off stabbing her five children, killing three of them during an unsupervised visit on Friday. The siblings had previously been placed under the guardianship of another relative.

Shamaiya Hall, 25, of Forney was placed under arrest, 11pm, Friday night and charged with three counts of capital murder according to WFAA.

The biological mother is allegedly to have stabbed the children when a Texas Department of Family and Protective Services worker arrived unannounced at a home in Italy under suspicion that Hall was having unsupervised visitation with her children.

The Ellis County Sheriff’s Office said the CPS worker quickly called emergency services for help.

‘We are shocked by this incomprehensible tragedy, and already working with law enforcement to investigate how this happened, and why,’ CPS said in a statement in the aftermath of the tragedy.

How did biological mom come to have unsupervised visit with the children? 

Reports had yet to identify the ages and names of the victims along with how Shamaiya Hall came to have unsupervised visits with the children. The identity of the legal guardian was not revealed. 

Shamaiya Hall reportedly did not live at the home in Italy, Texas, which is around 40 miles south of Dallas.

Italy police are continuing to investigate. Italy ISD is cooperating with the investigation, the district said in a statement.

‘Italy ISD is deeply saddened by the tragedy that occurred off-campus this evening. Words cannot express the overwhelming grief felt by the district and the community hearing of such a tragedy. 

‘We are a tight-knit, small community and as such many students will be impacted by this incident,’ the district said.

Twin sister previously stabbed 7 year old daughter to death

Hall was arrested in 2017 after she allegedly stabbed her sister’s boyfriend. Hall’s twin sister, Troyshaye Mone Hall, was also reportedly arrested in the stabbing death of her 7-year-old daughter in June 2021.

Surviving that attack was a 16 year old family friend. It remained unclear what provoked the ‘unmotivated’ attack at the time. According to an arrest affidavit, 7-year-old Madison Petry was stabbed more than 30 times.

Neighbors in that episode said Hall had just recently come home from a psychiatric facility, an assertion Dallas police declined to confirm or deny citing privacy concerns at the time.

Shamaiya Hall remained in the Ellis County Jail on Saturday, March 4. No bond was set.
