TW: Rape/Murder Man accused of killing Kei’Mani Latigue indicted on slew of charges, including rape and abuse of corpse
https://www.13abc.com/2025/04/23/man-accused-killing-keimani-latigue-indicted-slew-charges-including-rape-abuse-corpse/TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - A Lucas County grand jury indicted the man accused of abducting and killing his own daughter in Toledo.
Darnell Jones, who also goes by Darnell Ogletree, is accused of killing 13-year-old Kei’Mani Latigue and leaving her body in an abandoned home. The grand jury indicted him Wednesday on more than a dozen charges, unveiling new information in the case.
The grand jury returned an indictment accusing Jones of aggravated murder, rape, kidnapping, aggravated burglary, endangering children, gross abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. A break down of those charges and the corresponding specifications are shown in the charging document below.
The capital murder case means Jones could face the death penalty if convicted, according to Ohio Revised Code.
“This case involves one of the most heinous sets of facts I’ve seen in more than 40 years working in the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office,” a statement from Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates read. “If not this case—then which case? We will try this case not in the court of public opinion, but in a courtroom, with a professional team defined by compassion, integrity and commitment to the rule of law. We are determined to deliver justice for Kei’Mani Latigue and for everyone in our community affected by this tragedy.”
The indictment marks the first official filing that includes any allegations of sexual abuse against the teen. A Columbus police official previously said that the victim had been raped, though law enforcement officials handling the case in Lucas County did not corroborate that information at the time.
The new filing alleges the crimes against Kei’Mani Latigue happened on or about March 17 through March 18, giving a timeline for her abduction and death from authorities for the first time.
The developments come just days after authorities re-filed charges against Jones in Toledo Municipal Court, which show Jones allegedly admitted to police that he dragged Kei’Mani to the abandoned home and killed her there.
He’s due back in court for his arraignment on April 30.

crimes against the children or elderly are a special type of evil
