Sentenced: 2 Missing Girls, Mom Found Dead After Amber Alert

[Sugar Cookie]

The bodies of two missing girls and their mother have been found after an Amber Alert was issued Saturday and canceled Sunday.

During a news conference early Sunday afternoon, Milwaukee Police said Amarah Banks, 26, was declared missing on February 9th.

While investigating, police discovered that Zaniya Ivery, 5, and Cameria Banks, 4, were also missing.

Police then said they were contacted by law enforcement in Memphis, Tennessee, who said they had information on the father, Arzel Ivery, 25, who was last seen with all Amarah and the girls.

Milwaukee Police then traveled to Memphis, where Ivery was able to lead them to the garage where the three bodies were found.
Ivery was arrested in connection with the case and a felony aggravated battery charge was filed against him Saturday.

Police say homicide charges were expected to be filed against Ivery, who was in custody in Memphis, Tennessee.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office was called to the scene Sunday and said autopsies were scheduled for Monday.

Police said Banks and her daughters were initially considered missing under “suspicious circumstances.”

The Amber Alert was not issued until Saturday afternoon.

Family members spent Feb. 7 consoling Banks, who buried her infant son that day.

He died from health complications, they said.

They all had plans to go to brunch on the afternoon of Feb. 8.

Banks’ car was outside her sister’s house, where she left it.

Her sisters said Banks had a few glasses of wine Friday night and didn’t want to drive.

“She’s like, ‘Meka, don’t forget to come get me in the morning.’ I said: ‘I’ll come get you. I’ll come get you,'” said Tameka Smith, one of Banks’ sisters. “My sister, this not like her. She don’t run off, she don’t ignore people. No matter what she go through, she gonna reach out to me.”

Banks’ family told WISN 12 News they do not believe she would leave without telling them, the girls’ school or her place of work.

Banks’ brother called WISN 12 News on Thursday afternoon saying he was concerned for the safety of his sister and nieces.

“This isn’t like her. She wouldn’t do this. This makes no sense,” David Fields said.

An amended complaint was filed on Tuesday, Feb. 18 against Arzel Ivery, the man suspected of killing Amarah “Jerica” Banks and her two daughters, Camaria Banks and Zaniya Ivery. It details how Ivery says he killed the three — and then tried to hide their bodies. Banks and the girls were found dead Sunday, Feb. 16 in a garage in Milwaukee.

When interviewed by a Milwaukee police officer who traveled to Memphis, the complaint indicates Ivery said “things had been tense between himself and Ms. Banks since the death of their son. He stated that Ms. Banks had not wanted him around anymore because he reminded her of their son.”

The funeral for the son was on Feb. 7 — and afterward, Ivery indicated he went to work. When he went to Banks’ apartment around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 8, the complaint said Banks “was angry that (Ivery) had gone to work and yelled at him that he did not care about the death of their son.” Ivery claimed to police he and Banks had an argument and “he then grabbed Ms. Banks and pushed her head into the wall two times.” Ivery then indicated he “strangled Ms. Banks with both hands.”

The complaint says Ivery then stated, “he did not want the children…to live in a world where they did not have their mother.” He indicated he then strangled both the children. The complaint says Ivery then tried to hide the bodies of all three by burning them.

Ivery also told detectives “he planned on starting a new life in Memphis” and “admitted that he told his father that he had killed Ms. Banks and the two children.”

This is so heartbreaking. Her and her 3 children in such a short span. My heart goes out to the family.

He killed his children so there would be no witnesses and would not have to answer to them in the future.

I wonder if he actually did do something that caused the death of the boy and he wanted to silence the mother.

He stated that Ms. Banks was not fighting him, so he figured that she wanted to die. The Defendant claimed that he was helping her die,” the complaint said.

Also known as murder.

Arzel Ivery, the man accused of killing Amarah "Jerica" Banks and her daughters Camaria Banks and Zaniya Ivery in 2020, pleaded guilty Friday, April 30 to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide.

The bodies of Banks, 26, and her girls were found in a Milwaukee garage one day after an Amber Alert was issued for the 5-year-old Zaniya and 4-year-old Camaria.

Ivery was initially charged with aggravated battery but later faced intentional homicide charges.

A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for July 16. In September 2020, a doctor ruled Ivery's plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease/defect would not be supported.

How utterly disgusting. This poor woman just lost her infant son and then is killed by her boyfriend and I am sure she did not imagine in her last breaths that he would kill her little girls too. What a sadistic POS may the family find each other in the celestial stars.

A Milwaukee County judge sentenced Arzel Ivery to life in prison without the possibility for extended supervision.

Ivery pleaded guilty to killing Amarah "Jerica" Banks and her daughters Camaria Banks and Zaniya Ivery in 2020. He entered the guilty pleas to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide in April.

The bodies of Banks, 26, and her girls were found in a Milwaukee garage one day after an Amber Alert was issued for the 5-year-old Zaniya and 4-year-old Camaria.

"I know what I did has affected the world I know I can’t change anything with what I say but I’m truly sorry," Arzel Ivery told the court prior to his sentence being handed down.

"This is the worst things I’ve ever gone through. No parent should have to bury a child – not only a child but your grandchildren too," said Valeria Spinner-Banks, mother of Jerica Banks.

Defense attorneys had requested the possibility of an early release after 40 years of confinement. That was denied by the judge.

In September 2020, a doctor ruled Ivery's plea of not guilty by reason of mental disease/defect would not be supported.

Prosecutors said Ivery admitted that a domestic fight escalated to the point that he strangled the three and then burned their bodies. The three were found in a garage on Feb. 16, 2020 -- a day after an Amber Alert was issued for the children.

According to the criminal complaint, police spoke by phone with Ivery on Feb. 7, 2020. He indicated "there was a funeral for his son that he had with Ms. Banks." He indicated the two got into an argument "because Banks blamed (Ivery) for the death of their son."

When interviewed by a Milwaukee police officer who traveled to Memphis, the complaint indicates Ivery said "things had been tense between himself and Banks since the death of their son. He stated that Banks had not wanted him around anymore because he reminded her of their son."

The funeral for the son was on Feb. 7, 2020 -- and afterward, Ivery indicated he went to work. When he went to Banks' apartment around 1:30 a.m. on Feb. 8, the complaint said Banks "was angry that (Ivery) had gone to work and yelled at him that he did not care about the death of their son." Ivery claimed he and Banks had an argument and "he then grabbed Banks and pushed her head into the wall two times." Ivery then indicated he "strangled Banks with both hands."The complaint says Ivery then stated, "he did not want the children...to live in a world where they did not have their mother." He indicated he then strangled both the children. The complaint says Ivery then tried to hide the bodies of all three by burning them.

Ivery also told detectives "he planned on starting a new life in Memphis" and "admitted that he told his father that he had killed Banks and the two children."
