On March 24, 2008, Cherilyn Jane Crawford was one of four individuals found dead in an apartment located at 720 High Meadow Lane, Tree Top Apartments in Charlotte, North Carolina. The other victims were Andrew Babyak, William Beaumonde Royster, and Timothy Stone.
The case remained unsolved for nearly 11 years until a significant breakthrough in 2019.
On March 7, 2019, Dominick O'Neill Daise, aged 32 at the time, was arrested and charged with four counts of murder in connection with the deaths of the four victims.
The incident was a quadruple homicide, and the investigation had been ongoing since the bodies were discovered in 2008. The arrest of Dominick Daise marked a major development in the case, bringing some closure to the families of the victims after a decade-long wait for justice.
Cherilyn Crawford was 31 years old at the time of her death. The case was handled by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Cold Case Unit, which had been seeking any information regarding the open case until the arrest was made.
