Benjamin Joseph Taylor is charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Markayla Johnson and her two children, 4-year-old Miracle Johnson and 7-month-old Messiah Johnson. Taylor was booked in the Mecklenburg County jail on Friday after he was transferred into the custody of U.S. Marshals by officials in Imperial County, California.
An affidavit obtained by WCNC Charlotte on Monday revealed new details on what investigators found when searching Johnson's home.
