Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty against a woman accused of hiring a friend to kill her mother.

An indictment filed Thursday in Summit County court shows 20-year-old Taylor Marks of Akron faces one count of aggravated murder. Police say Marks offered a friend $5,000 to kill 58-year-old Kristie Marks so she could inherit money.

Police say the daughter lured her mother to an apartment complex on Oct. 24, where the friend stabbed the older woman to death.

Police say they have confessions and found bloody clothes and a knife.

Marks is jailed and faces a Nov. 13 arraignment date.

Kristie Marks operated a Visiting Angels home health care business.

No attorney for Marks was listed in court records.
