Summary

In the early morning hours of Monday, June 22, 2020, a 911 call summoned police to 135 Rowley Street in Gouverneur, New York, where 38-year-old Lashanna Charlton lived with her two daughters, aged 18 and 13. When police arrived, they found 18-year-old Treyanna Summerville dead. According to family members, neighbors, and classmates, Treyanna had endured years of manipulation, controlling behavior, and physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her mother, Lashanna. By the end of the day on June 22, one suspect was in custody, but it wasn’t Treyanna’s mother; it was her 13 year-old sister.
This is the baffling, ongoing story of Treyanna Summerville.
