Markeisha Stone: Mother Killed in Murder-For-Hire Plot Allegedly Set Up By Her Daughter
Markeisha Stone, a 33-year-old mother of four, was shot to death on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, in her Baton Rouge, La., apartment. Police said the teen gunman confessed that he accepted money for the murder from the victim’s daughter.
Markeisha Stone, 33, was a loving mother who took seriously the responsibility of raising her four children and keeping them safe in Baton Rouge. Louisiana, one of the most dangerous cities in America.
"A loving mom, did everything she could to take care of her kids," Marvin Palmer, Stone’s father, told WBRZ TV.. "She didn't deserve that."
According to law enforcement, Stone and her daughter had been at odds over where the girl wanted to live.
On the night of Wednesday, October 12, 2022, Baton Rouge Police say the daughter reportedly paid another teen, 16-year-old Dwayne Barfield, around $200 to kill her mother in her apartment.
Before the gunfire, the girl reportedly gathered her younger siblings into another room of the apartment..
“I just can't believe it man," Palmer said. "I'm not hating my granddaughter, but at this time I don't want to see her... If I do get a chance to talk to her, I just want to ask why."
Police took both the shooter and the girl into custody, as she confessed to her part in having her mother killed.
Palmer said he hopes his other grandkids can forgive the one accused in the murder plot. The youngest son has yet to be told what really happened, he said.
“I told her little brothers don't be mad at their sister," Palmer said. "I told the 13-year-old personally what had happened... I raised that boy from a baby,” Palmer told the TV station.
A GoFundMe has been set up to cover the funeral costs.
The alleged gunman and the girl both face second-degree murder charges, according to, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office said.
