Dead boy’s caregiver wants venue change for trial

KMIZ — The woman accused of killing four-year-old Darnell Gray wants a change of venue. Quatavia Givens’ public defender requested a change of venue last week.

The little boy was first reported missing in late October in Jefferson City. His body was found less than a week. Givens is facing charges of first-degree child abuse leading to death.

Givens later admitted she knew where Darnell’s body was. Givens is set for arraignment on January 9.
