Da’Ron Donta Jenkins, the man accused of a horrific double homicide, made his first court appearance Tuesday morning after allegedly murdering his mother and younger brother at their Wilson home.
Jenkins, 20, is facing charges in the deaths of 50-year-old Dana Vanessa Jenkins and 15-year-old Daryn Jenkins, whose bodies were discovered Monday evening inside their apartment on Snowden Drive SE.
According to the Wilson Police Department, officers responded to a call at 1702 Snowden Drive SE at approximately 5:23 p.m. Monday. Upon arrival, they found Dana and Daryn deceased at the scene.
During Tuesday’s court hearing, Assistant District Attorney Holly Rabil requested that the judge impose “the highest amount possible” for Da’Ron’s bond, citing the brutal nature of the crime and Jenkins’ criminal history.
Judge Matthew Sperati set bond at $1.5 million for the first count and $1 million for the second count, according to a report by The Wilson Times.
State records reveal that Jenkins has a criminal past. In December 2021, he was convicted in Wilson County of larceny of firearms, multiple counts of breaking and entering into motor vehicles, and malicious conduct by a prisoner, according to the N.C. Department of Adult Correction. He was released from prison on March 25, having served just over three years.
The same day Da’Ron was released from prison, his mom, Dana, made a post on social media that read: “My baby home!! My MF baby! My baby is home! Lord, I thx u!!”
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and all those affected by the loss of Ms. Dana and Daryn Jenkins.

Look at his record. This is not a surprise. He committed violent crimes and every time they let him out early.
My hearts go out to the family. You have my deepest sympathy. I just feel like this is a sensless death, you walk out of prison just to kill somebody. He had to be disturbed because it don’t make sense. The Bible say doubt shall not kill
