Title:

State of Maryland vs. ALLEYSE CAMILLE TAYLOR

Filing Date:	05/26/2023
Case Status:	Closed

V1 is a two-month-old black female. V1 was brought to the hospital by her mother and father. VI’s mother was identified as Alleyse Camille Taylor. VI’s father was identified as David.

Upon treatment at Calvert Health Medical Center, it was determined that V1 was suffering from severe head trauma. V1 was flown to “Children’s National Hospital Center” located in the District of Columbia.

V1 was found to have retinal hemorrhaging, and acute bilateral subdural hemorrhages and previously presented at Calvert Health Medical Center with an episode of seizure.

On the evening of May 16, 2023, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Detective Mudd, Jessica Jacobs of Child Protective Services and Detective Freeland responded to Children’s National Hospital Center where they learned from attending medical staff of the seriousness of V1’s injuries.

After this discussion, police believed that V1 would not recover from her injuries. The staff was clear that V1 has fixed pupils with no response to light, which is considered a criterion for brain death.

Later that same evening of May 16, 2023, Det. Mudd, Jacobs, and Freeland responded to Chesapeake Beach, where they met Alleyse Camille Taylor and David.

Det. Mudd accompanied by Investigator Jacobs interviewed Alleyse in the kitchen, and Freeland interviewed David in a vehicle.

Alleyse told Det. Mudd that on May 15, 2023, around noon she was in V1’s bedroom. She was comforting V1 and held her to her chest. Alleyse said she lay on the bed and propped her back against the wall while holding V1. Alleyse said she must have dosed off only to be woken by a loud thud and V1 screaming.

Alleyse said V1 had fallen out of her arms and was lying face. down on the carpet. Alleyse said she scooped up V1 and comforted her. She described checking her for injury and thought she was ok. Allevse advised she had a doctor’s appointment at the Navy Yard located in the District of Columbia at 2 pm. Alleyse advised she left for this appointment around 1 pm. She left her two daughters’ home with David.

While Alleyse was at her appointment, she and David communicated by cellular phone approximately two times and talked about V1’s condition.

Upon returning home around 5:00 p.m., Alleyse advised she went to feed V1. She advised V1 was fussy and would not take her bottle. Alleyse said she noticed V1 was holding her tongue to the roof of her mouth and was crying differently.

Alleyse advised she became alarmed and she and David took V1 to Calvert Health Medical Center. Due to V1’s injuries she was transported to Children’s National Hospital by helicopter. Hospital staff advised that VI’s injuries were not consistent with an injury received from a fall on carpeted floor from the height of a bed.

On May 23, 2023 at approximately 4:40 p.m., V1 was pronounced deceased at Children’s National Hospital as a result of her injuries.

On May 24, 2023 Det. Mudd and Freeland reinterviewed Alleyse at Medstar Washington Medical Center, located at 110 Irving Street, SW, Washington, D.C.

Since last speaking with Alleyse on May 16th, Alleyse attempted to commit suicide and left a hand-written note for David.

Alleyse had voluntarily admitted herself into the hospital for a mental health evaluation. Before the interview was conducted, Alleyse was informed that the interview was voluntary and that she could stop speaking to police at any time. Alleyse stated that she understood this and allowed police to interview her.

During the interview, Alleyse confessed to shaking V1, after V1 would not stop crying after falling off of the bed. Alleyse advised that she was exhausted and at her breaking point.

Alleyse stated that she placed both of her hands under VI’s arms and shook V1 back and forth for a several seconds. While Alleyse explained what had happened, she also demonstrated how she shook V1 by shaking her hands in a back and forth motion.

Alleyse then stated that she went down to the first floor of the house and tripped down the stairs, while holding V1. Alleyse then put V1 on the bed that is located in the in-law suit, as well as a space heater to keep V1 warm. Alleyse stated that this was how V1 suffered burns on her feet.

Calvert Woman Charged in Murder of Her 2-Month Old Daughter

On the evening of May 16, 2023, Calvert County Sheriff's Office Detective Mudd, Jessica Jacobs of Child Protective Services and Detective Freeland responded to Children's National Hospital Center where they learned from attending medical staff of the seriousness of V1's injuries.

The following factors explain the lack of a final prosecution outcome for her:

• Recanted Confession: While Taylor originally confessed to shaking her infant daughter in June 2023, she later told medical professionals she was coerced by the child's father, David Bernard Taylor. She claimed she took responsibility "out of fear" and provided evidence of physical abuse she allegedly suffered at his hands.
• New Primary Suspect: Based on her recantation and further investigation, a Calvert County grand jury indicted the father, David Bernard Taylor, on January 23, 2025, for murder and multiple counts of child abuse.
• Legal Status: As of late 2025, the case against Alleyse Camille Taylor (Lipscomb) is closed.

A Calvert County grand jury handed down a six-count indictment for a 36-year-old David Bernard Taylor, charging him with killing a two-month old girl in 2023.

Initially, the defendant’s wife, Alleyse Taylor, was charged with the baby’s death, which was the result of what doctors described as “abusive head trauma.”

According to documents submitted by Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Detective Michael Mudd and initially filed in district court, “Alleyse recanted her confession [made] on May 25, 2023, and disclosed a history of abuse at the hands of David Taylor. Alleyse stated to medical professionals that David told her to take responsibility for the death of [the child] and that she did so out of fear. She also showed medical professionals bruises on her lower back that she said were caused by David Taylor beating her with a belt in early May of 2023.”

Mudd said in court papers that the couple gave nearly identical stories about the baby accidentally falling off a bed and sustaining injuries during a May 17, 2023, interview with sheriff’s office detectives.

Mudd stated detectives reviewed a police report from 2020 and other records from 2021 in which Alleyse Taylor “previously reported a history of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of David Taylor.”

In the indictment, David Taylor is charged with murder, two counts of first-degree child abuse, two counts of second-degree child abuse and one count of reckless endangerment.
