Jarvis Butts Sentenced For Death Of 13Year Old Found Dead In Jail [VIDEO]

According to WXYZ Detroit, Jarvis Butts, who was recently sentenced after admitting to the killing of 13-year-old Na’Ziyah Harris in Detroit was discovered deceased at the Michigan Department of Corrections facility on the morning of Thursday, March 26th from a suspected suicide.

The victim, Na’Ziyah Harris, disappeared after she got off a school bus in January 2024 in Detroit.  Jarvis Butts, 43, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in February for killing Na’Ziyah, and was sentenced on March 12 to 35 to 60 years in prison.  Na’Ziyah’s body has never been found, however part of the plea deal Jarvis Butts took required him to tell authorities where the NaZiyah is buried however sadly he never gave them the location.

Na’Ziyah Harris was last seen getting off a bus in Detroit in January 2024. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said text messages show that she met up with Butts the day she disappeared, showing evidence that Butts, who knew Harris’s family members, allegedly groomed the girl starting in 2022. Harris was pregnant when she was killed, and Butts was allegedly the unborn child’s father. Jarvis Butts searched for abortions, abortion pills, and drinking red anti-freeze before Harris’s death.
