Chamanek Johnson was found stabbed to death in April 2014 in her home on Hazelwood Street. Her then 8-month-old daughter was also found in a nearby crib. The baby was treated for dehydration, but wasn't hurt.
Prosecutors said McNeil and Johnson sometimes lived together in the home, but he is not the baby's father.
