Davontrez R. McCuddin, 22, is charged with two counts of first degree murder. He is accused of stabbing his sister, 26-year-old Markasia McCuddin, of Ames, and her son, 1-year-old Liam Sanders-McCuddin, on March 13 in the hallway of an apartment building in Ames.

He remains in jail with a bond of $3 million cash only.

Attorney Charles J. Kenville has met with McCuddin multiple times since his arrest. In court documents he wrote that those meetings have caused him to question McCuddin’s competency to stand trial.

He wrote that McCuddin has:

• Exhibited unregulated emotions

• Made statements that can only be interpreted as him experiencing active auditory and visual hallucinations

• Made statements related to having multiple souls

• Made statements about detailed conspiracies to harm him

• Made statements related to supernatural observations and abilities

Kenville requested a hearing to determine if there is probable cause to have mental health professionals evaluate McCuddin’s competency to stand trial.

That hearing will be held April 2 with District Court Judge John R. Flynn presiding.

In addition to first degree murder charges pending against him, McCuddin also faces a charge of attempt to commit muder in Webster County. He is accused of shooting and wounding a man in Fort Dodge on Jan. 4.
