Raleigh police were waiting for Diop to be released from a hospital before formally serving the murder warrants.
On April 5, Raleigh police discovered the body of 40-year-old Aminata Drame and 2-year-old Fatim Diop inside a home in the 5900 block of Farm Gate Road.
A Facebook post and subsequent 911 call gave police a tip that something was amiss at the Farm Gate Road residence.
Friends of the victims have set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for their funeral expenses.
