LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Channel 13 has obtained the distressing 911 calls that capture the heartbreaking moment a father discovers his three-year-old daughter fatally stabbed.
Jhovani Carillo listened to the calls to learn more about how this all unfolded.
The tragic crime happened Wednesday, March 26, at an apartment complex near Flamingo and Eastern.
According to LVMPD, around 3:36 a.m., police received a 911 call from Jeremy Ross, who could be heard yelling at someone in the background saying, "You murdered my baby."
When officers arrived, Ross said his daughter Journei was being babysat by his roommate, whom he identified as 41-year-old Marketta Lucresha Phillips, while he was at work.
He said when he came home, he found Phillips with blood on her hands and Journei unresponsive in the bedroom, bleeding. Ross added he found Phillips sitting on the kitchen floor, surrounded by knives with a cut on her hand.
Despite Ross performing CPR on her and officers taking over life-saving measures before medical personnel took her to Sunrise Hospital, Journei ultimately succumbed to her injuries and died from multiple stab wounds.
