HAYWARD, Calif. — The suspect accused of killing an 8-year-old Hayward, California, girl earlier this year was caught by police on Saturday, California officials said.
Dhante Jackson, 33, was arrested in Newark, California, after being on the run for six months, after allegedly killing Sophia Mason, according to California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
Jackson was charged with first-degree murder and with willfully harming or injuring a child, arrest records show. On March 12, while in custody on child abuse charges from 2021, Samantha Johnson, Sophia's mother, told investigators about the alleged abuse Sophia faced that led to her death, including living in a shed in Jackson's yard and sexual and physical abuse, Bonta said in the statement.
