Police in Prince George's County, Md., also say they believe the
suspects were linked to the adult victims through the sale of
marijuana.
A press release identified the victims Saturday morning as
38-year-old Dawn Yvette Brooks; her two children, 3-year-old Shayla
Shante Sikyala and 4-year-old Shakur Sylvester Sikyala; and the
children's aunt, 41-year-old Mwasiti Sikyala.
All four were from Lanham.
The two charged were identified as 43-year-old Darrell Lynn
Bellard and 18-year-old Tkeisha Nicole Gilmer. It was unclear
Saturday whether either had an attorney.
