A 25-year-old man in Kansas is facing the steepest possible legal penalties for allegedly sexually assaulting and killing a 5-year-old girl. Mickel Wayne Cherry was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with one count of first-degree murder in the commission of a felony and one count of raping a victim under the age of 14 in the horrific slaying of Zoey Felix, jail records reviewed by Law&Crime show.
Officers with the Topeka Police Department on Monday at about 6 p.m. responded to a call about a young girl — later identified as Zoey — suffering from life-threatening injuries at a Dillons located in the 2000 block of S.E. 29th Street in Topeka, according to court documents obtained by Topeka NBC affiliate KSNT. Upon arriving at the location, emergency medical personnel with the Topeka Fire Department were already on the scene performing life-saving measures on the child before rushing her to a local hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead a short time after arriving at the facility.

Sources close to the investigation reportedly told Topeka CBS affiliate WIBW that Cherry and the victim were not related, but said that Zoey had recently been living in the same outdoor homeless camp as Cherry.
Neighbors told The Topeka Capital-Journal that Zoey had lived in a decrepit house that often had no lights or running water with her mother, a teenage sister, and an adult male who was allegedly a convicted child molester. It is not clear whether the alleged child molester previously living with Zoey and her family was Cherry or another man.
Several community members reiterated to the newspaper that Zoey “pretty much took care of herself” and could often be seen running around the neighborhood unsupervised.

Social services probably used up by immigrants.
Rusty machete on him with battery acid.
Middle name is Wayne. Figures.
Killing is too good for him. But do it anyway..... slowly.
Folking DCF in Kansas is worthless.
I’ll do it for free
Feet first through a woodchipper would do nicely.
Indeed, all these illegal aliens are freeloaders who have no right to be here.
It is much easier to terrorize parents who's child is playing in their own yard by threatening to take their child away.
Not all child protection workers are evil, most are just lazy.
Agree! Pure piece of subhuman garbage. Our prison population should have newspaper accounts of this particularly heinous crime posted everywhere!!
I am old enough to have concluded that:
there are 2 groups of criminals that can NEVER be changed:
Sex offenders of every stripe
ARSONISTS.
They are wired wrong at birth
Good Grief! What a freak show!
I am devolving into scorched earth. There isn't enough left worth saving to be particular.
Have you ever seen such a bunch of losers????? Very sad.
They should have the charges listed against this sick b@stard as ‘murder,’ and ‘rape of a preschooler’ not just ‘murder’ and ‘rape.’
Matthew 6:22-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light; 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is darkness, how great will the darkness be.
Look at the number of “dead eyes” in this group. Chilling!
Social services probably used up by immigrants and patrolling the urban city streets responding to crimes
“Cherry and the victim knew each other prior to her death.”
Hard to get to know someone AFTER they are dead!
Urinalists!
Doesn’t anyone read their screeds BEFORE publishing?
How about just saying “Cherry and the victim knew each other.”
