Why Is Darnell Erby Arrested? 44-Year-Old Suspect For 77-year-old Pamela Garrett May's Murder

The police have released a statement that the murder occurred at a North Highlands home on Field Street near Poplar Boulevard. The victim of the slaying has been identified as 77-year-old Pamela Garrett May.

According to the sheriff's office, Pamela Garrett May's body was dismembered beyond recognition in a genuinely horrible fashion, so much so that the coroner had a hard time identifying her. 

Thankfully, law enforcement was able to arrest Ebry on the same day the killing occurred and promptly took him into the Sacramento County Main Jail on suspicion of homicide. Erby, a resident of Sacramento, is being held without bail.

The sheriff has also mentioned that there are currently no other suspects for the killing. Although they haven't said anything else, it's becoming clear that they believe Erby committed the murder. 

Why Is Darnell Erby Arrested?

44-year-old Darnell Erby was arrested the same day they discovered the body of Pamela Garrett May. A gruesome killing took place on July 19.

Though the police haven't released the specifics of why they arrested Erby, they seem very confident as they are holding Erby without the possibility of bail. Erby has been arrested on burglary charges before, and many are speculating that this is the reason why Erby has been arrested for the murder. 

Burglaries are prevalent in the Sacramento area, and many burglaries can turn into murders quickly if the victim is someone helpless, like 77-year-old Pamela Garrett May. Still, it is unclear whether Erby and May knew each other or what circumstances led to her death.

As the police have not released any information as to why Erby was arrested, we can't state with any certainty that Erby must have had a significant connection to the crime scene or victim to be held in such a tight-lipped method by the law enforcement. Searching through his social media, one can glean that this isn't the first time Erby has been arrested or imprisoned.

He has spent a fair part of the 2010s behind bars, but hopefully, the police are not using his history against him or his race and are working based on evidence. Nothing can be stated for sure until the police release another statement.

What are Darnell Erby's Charges?

Darnell Erby has been arrested on suspicion of murder and burglary.

Both of these charges are in connection to Pamela Garrett May's murder, and sources besides the police are stating that Erby perhaps planned to burgle May's home but was caught by the elderly lady and spooked Erby, killed her.

However, this does not explain the violent way May's body was dismembered. The sheriff's officials stated that not only was May's body dismembered but dismembered beyond recognition, and they required a coroner to identify it positively. It's hard to believe that Erby could have committed something heinous.

The reasoning is that although Erby has burglarized before, he has never harmed any of the occupants, nor does he have a violent background based strictly on his social media. Still, the police have him now, and hopefully, they have enough evidence that has assured them of his guilt, and/or the courts will be able to properly identify if he is guilty or not.

It is a tragedy that 77-year-old Pamela Garrett May has passed away, but a man should not go to jail without being proven guilty.

Where is Darnell Erby Now?

On July 21, Erby was arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court and is scheduled to return to court on August 24 for another hearing.

Erby's future seems uncertain, and there is not much we can say for sure as the police have not released any information. May is mourned by her family and the public, while Erby is vilified. 

However, it cannot yet be said if that vilification is deserved or not. Hopefully, the hearing on August 24 will relay some more answers about this case's direction.
