Cheryl Myrick, 58, was found dead in her East Elmhurst, Queens, home after investigators say she was stabbed about 38 times in the neck and torso. Police recovered her body in a second-floor bedroom during a search of the residence on July 6, 2023, and determined she and her son had been killed on July 4. The case began when a passerby reported a foul odor on July 5, leading officers to a large garbage bag on 104th Street that contained the decomposing body of Cheryl’s son, 31-year-old Kyle Danielson, who autopsy showed had been shot and stabbed roughly 50 times.

Police arrested 42-year-old Roscoe Danielson in connection with both deaths after officers found a 9mm handgun and a knife in a stroller he was pushing. Roscoe was charged with murder and related offenses. Is anyone in the community able to share information about Cheryl’s life in East Elmhurst or anything that might help explain what happened that weekend?
