Toddlers Kevin & KeMaury McArthur were found dead in a parked car near Covance clinical research laboratory. Based on security camera footage the boys were killed
in the parking lot of the company at about 7 p.m. on Jul 5th. An officer spotted a gray Volvo at 2:39 a.m. parked in the Covance lot. When he approached the car, he
saw a body in the back seat and discovered the body of a second child after forcing his way into the vehicle.
This is a case that began with domestic violence between the suspect and the boys' mother and involved a knife at the Moorland Road apartment that they shared.
David Hoem, the boyfriend of the children's mother, turned himself in at the East District police station at the urging of family members who were in contact with
him via cell phone.
