Demetres Washington was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Washington was originally charged with second-degree murder for the death of her 13-year-old daughter, Shianna Mays. She also faced three counts of kidnapping and two counts of assault for allegedly taking Shianna and two of her other children from a family visit supervised by the Missouri Department of Social Services Children’s Division.

Mackenzie Quiovers is charged with assisting Washington in the abduction of the children from a Columbia home. The women were pursued by family members, but the chase ended with a rollover crash. Quiovers is scheduled to go to trial next month.
