Memphis, Tennessee – A local man, Cameron Mitchell, has been charged with multiple assaults following an incident involving his ex-girlfriend and their 10-month-old daughter. The charges include aggravated assault, domestic assault, and child endangerment, and he is currently being held on a bond set at $45,000.
The alleged domestic violence incident took place on May 19 in the 3700 block of Clarke Road, when the victim dropped off the couple’s infant daughter with Mitchell. After receiving a series of angry and threatening text messages from Mitchell, the victim returned to the residence. Upon her arrival, instead of a peaceful interaction, the situation escalated into violence.
According to reports, Mitchell subjected the victim to a physical assault, starting with him pushing her in the face, causing her to fall to the ground. While holding their baby at the beginning of the confrontation, he later handed the child to his mother before continuing the attack on the victim. Witnesses report that Mitchell dragged the victim by her hair outside the home, hitting and choking her during the assault. Fortunately, a friend intervened during the incident, successfully retrieving the baby from Mitchell’s grasp, which prompted him to stop the assault and release the victim.
This incident highlights a troubling pattern of domestic violence, as it follows a similar case involving another local man, Tranell Gant, who was charged last month with aggravated assault and child abuse. Gant was reportedly recorded on a Facebook Live post while attacking a mother who was holding her six-month-old baby. In his case, the infant remained unharmed during the altercation, which took place on McMillan Street in South Memphis. Gant has since been released on a $10,000 bond and is required to wear a GPS ankle monitor as a condition of his release.
Cameron Mitchell is expected to appear in court next Tuesday to face the charges against him. The legal repercussions of his actions and the ongoing impact on the victims underscore the seriousness of domestic violence, particularly when children are involved. Law enforcement and community organizations continue to work towards raising awareness about the dangers of domestic abuse, aiming to provide support for those affected and to prevent future incidents.
This case adds to a distressing trend of domestic violence incidents in the Memphis area, drawing attention to the urgent need for preventative measures and support systems for victims. As the legal proceedings unfold, many are hopeful for accountability and justice for victims of domestic violence.
