Charles Ivy, 34, is accused of murdering 30-year-old Denjah Moore and her 10-month old baby in Daytona Beach, FL on November 20, 2023. Charles was Denjah’s boyfriend.
Charles is accused of going to Denjah’s apartment and turning on all rounds of the stove and putting paper on top of them, all while Denjah and her 3 children were in the apartment. Charles had a 4 and 5 year-old kid with Denjah.
Cops say Charles set a fire to another room in the apartment and then stabbed Denjah to death.
Authorities say Charles then left his 2 kids in the burning apartment, along with Denjah’s 10-month-old baby.
Paramedics and the fire department were called. Firefighters were able to rescue all 3 kids from the burning apartment. Denjah was pulled out of the apartment, but she was already dead from stab wounds.
The 10-month-old baby died at the hospital due to cardiac arrest from the fire. The 4 and 5-year-old kids survived and are in stable condition.
Within 24 hours Charles was arrested and charged with two counts of premeditated first degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of first degree arson.
