After an argument, Curis and Nikia killed his parents. Local news outlets reported that the 11-year-old niece, who was not identified due to her age, was forced to watch the killings. Nikia and Curis stayed in the home with the corpses for days. Several days later, they kidnapped the 11-year-old child and fled to a different state.

The incident came to light after firefighters were called to the house for a fire alarm. Curis’ mom suffered gunshot wounds to her neck and head, in addition to 17 stab or puncture wounds to her upper body. The district attorney’s office says Curis was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder charges, along with up to 532 months in prison for the remaining charges.
