In a tragic turn of events, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has announced the discovery of human remains belonging to a mother and her two children inside a north Charlotte apartment. The remains were found by officers conducting an investigation at the Orchard Trace apartments on Friday.

The grim discovery comes after the mother and her two children were reported missing on March 3. The 22-year-old woman, Markayla Johnson, along with her four-year-old daughter Miracle and seven-month-old son Messiah, had not contacted any known family members, causing concern for their welfare.

After exhausting all leads, detectives from CMPD's Missing Persons Unit obtained a search warrant for Johnson's last known location. The execution of the warrant on Friday unveiled the heartbreaking truth that all three victims had been deceased inside Johnson's apartment.

While the remains have been presumptively identified as Johnson and her children, confirmation will be made by the medical examiner's office. As the investigation continues, the police are searching for a person of interest who may be connected to the case, although no further details have been released.

This devastating incident has left the Charlotte community shocked and saddened. The authorities are urging anyone with information related to this case to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.

As more developments unfold, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department will provide updates. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the victims during this difficult time.
