Found Deceased OH - Kei'Mani Latigue, 13, Toledo, 16 March 2025 *arrest*

[iamshadow21]

I'm going to assume the abuse was ongoing and as a growing young lady coming into her own, she fought back or said she would tell. Terrible, terrible case.

A violent abuser doesn't need an 'excuse'.

I understand there's a desire that a victim fought back somehow, as if that made their death less pointless, but it bothers me that that narrative isn't very far from 'they did something to set him off' that we see time and time again in rape, abuse and domestic violence cases with the subtle inference that if they hadn't done XYZ they'd still be alive.

A child was murdered, horribly, painfully, violently, and with the violation of incestous rape as part of it. Whatever she did or said had absolutely no effect on the end result. A man chose to do that to her.

MOO

 

[Chimera]

His dumb self forgot about the DNA from the rape, though :/
IMO.

Was just thinking the same.
So much 'ugh' about this case.
Imo.

 

[Chimera]

At 9:00 or so, Dorothy’s interview begins. I don’t like everything she has to say. Particularly how she disciplined Keimani. I don’t think she’s being completely forthright either.

She stated Keimani lived with her for the past five years, but she only had legal custody for a year.

Keimani’s 14th birthday is Friday

Wonder who had custody of Keimani for the other four years ?
Was Keimani basically couch surfing ?
Maybe to try to escape even worse situations.
Imo.

Of course! And I am in no shape or form blaming this poor child,I hope my post did not come across that way.

Sorry if this was already posted. Maybe it's just me, but IMO no 13 year old (girl or boy) should be left alone especially all night. The grandma was more than likely trying to do her best though. Prayers for Kei'Mani's family and friends. May the perp/perps rot in hell!

Grandmother of Toledo teen Kei'Mani Latigue says she 'asked to be handcuffed' Monday following threats

Kei'Mani Latigue, 13, was found dead in an east Toledo house Monday afternoon after she was missing nearly a week. Her grandmother was placed in handcuffs Monday.

www.wtol.com

Bbm.
Agreed.

Afaik, grandma worked nights ?
Fine then, but could she have hired someone to come over and be with Keimani while she was gone ??
Night time is a prime time for predators, esp. if they know a young teen is home alone.

It's dangerous to leave a youngster alone, esp. if the caregiver is away for a full work shift.
Or at least have the child go to someone else's (safe) home while they're gone; possible a group home for disadvantaged youth.
Someplace safe so Keimani wouldn't have to be alone all night ; but in case this was not applicable for Keimani -- then again back to grandma hiring someone safe to come over at night to be with the young girl.
Yes there'd be a cost-- but it's better than what has happened !

There are options if a kid is at risk.

Question here -- as I don't know this -- was Keimani receiving any government benefits at all ?
If so, grandma could've used that extra cash to hire a nighttime caregiver for Keimani.
My point is that Keimani's murder was entirely preventable.
Imo.

Wonder who had custody of Keimani for the other four years ?
Was Keimani basically couch surfing ?
Maybe to try to escape even worse situations.
Imo.

allegedly from 9 months old until five years ago, Keimani was in the custody of her godmother. That is who her bio mom initially gave Keimani to. At some point the Godmother then gave Keimani to her biological grandmother. Since that time the two women have allegedly coordinated to ensure Keimani had her physical needs met. At least that is what bio maternal aunt and grandmother have stated.

Thanks.
Was this stated in the YT video by WTOL 11 ?

Maybe grandma could have let Keimani stay at the godmother's when she (grandma) was gone ?
Again maybe not, but afaik there are other options to keep kids safe.
Imo.

yes it was in this interview I posted yesterday Found Deceased - OH - Keimani Latigue, 13, Toledo, 16 March 2025 *arrest*

The grandmother speaks first, then the aunt. The aunt was the one who described how this sweet girl came to be in the care of her maternal grandmother. I took away the impression the Godmother never signed on to raise the child forever. My impression was that it was to be a temporary thing that simply never ended. So when the godmother had had enough of raising a child that was not her own she contacted the grandmother. The mother never took any action to regain custody of her daughter, content to let others figure out how to care for her daughter. JMO impression of the situation described.

I won't judge grandmother for working at night. it's possible that wasn't her first choice but she is supporting a child that isn't hers and a household with the associated bills. beggars don't choose as my mom would say. We don't know that she didn't ask the godmother for help. We don't know anything except this poor sweet girl's father did unspeakable things and ended her life. I'll reserve judgment on whether Keimani should have been left at home alone at night while grandmother was at work. It's not optimal, but I can't judge with the limited info I have.

Missing Toledo girl’s body found in abandoned home; father faces murder charge

Police found the body of missing 13-year-old Keimani Latigue at an abandoned house on Miami in Toledo.

www.13abc.com

An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday to determine how the girl died.

Just hoping Keimani had some good years with people who truly loved her -- fun birthday parties, maybe a bicycle , or skates, a pretty doll, pretty clothes, good food, good friends, a nice place to live and sleep, and things that made her smile and giggle.
She is flying above all of the bad times forever.

interview w grandmother and her daughter, Keimani's bio aunt (edited to correct)

What a beautiful young girl. What a smile she had. We and the world have lost another human being for no reason.
No reason at all.

In the video interview I linked with Grandmother. She stated Keimani was being raised by her Godmother prior to moving in with her five years ago.

Further stated bio-mom never had custody, Keimani was removed when she was nine months old.

It is my impression he is not Keimani’s biological father. But someone who was in a relationship with the bio mom at some point? I’d really like to have confirmation of this and exactly how he came to play a role in her life.

Keimani is a victim in so many ways, another poster said they hope she felt truly loved and cherished. That’s a heartbreaking statement to make about a child. Don’t we all wish we could gather each and every child in similar circumstances and offer that to them all.

Bbm.

I wasn't judging her for any reason, least of all working at night, & afaik my post didn't say that ?
Sounds like grandma was supporting Keimani when the parents were unwilling to do so.
It's the part about leaving Keimani alone that I think could've been prevented.
It isn't judging to say that some safer arrangements could have been made to prevent Keimani from being murdered; but it's that some safer options could have been considered ?

It sounded like Keimani was fearful at night and that's just so sad in hindsight.
Agreed, no one should judge but to suggest better options can be a good thing.

Hopefully my post reflected that sentiment.
Omo.

I believe the grandmother is doing the best she is able, so far as I can tell, in this sad situation. JMO.

I don’t know. A couple of teachers posted separately that they had reported her many times for bruises, injuries, saying she was scared to go home etc. if there is any truth to that then I don’t feel she had much possible anywhere

 

[caradana]

This girl never had a chance, and if there is a legacy to be left here, I hope it is that in this time of government cuts we push hard for MORE resources to protect vulnerable kids.
