After police said they had enough evidence, they arrested Allen Lamont Sutton, his girlfriend Laneshia L. Young and a juvenile from Arp on a related felony charge.<\/p>\n

The Office of the Attorney General of Texas has taken on the murder case and will be handling the upcoming prosecution.

According to an indictment, Sutton, Young and juvenile killed Grant and her baby by hitting her with a blunt object and setting her on fire with an accelerant in Aug. 20, 2016.<\/p>\n

The indictments also said the three were possibly trying to kidnap Grant or commit arson.<\/p>\n
