A motive in the case wasn't immediately released.

A bail hearing was scheduled for Tuesday morning. It's unclear whether Davis had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

Anaya was a kindergartner at Fort Smallwood Elementary. Davis is a senior at Chesapeake High School.

Fort Smallwood’s Principal Bobbie Kesecker sent a letter to the school following Anaya’s death, where he said that “Anaya was a very sweet little girl.”
