Ex-Husband Pleads Guilty in Fatal Church Shooting, Ending a Tragic Chapter for an Indianapolis Family.

Stefen Lowe has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the tragic 2022 shooting death of Jermaine Turman, which took place during a funeral at an Indianapolis church. The plea marks the end of a chilling case that has haunted the Turman family since the day of the incident. Alongside manslaughter, Lowe also admitted guilt to charges of unlawful possession of a firearm by a violent felon and invasion of privacy.

The victim, Jermaine Turman, had only recently married Shannon Turman, Lowe’s ex-wife, when the shooting took place. The couple was attending the funeral for Shannon’s mother at the Oasis of Hope Church on November 5, 2022, when Lowe unexpectedly arrived. “When he came in, I was very shocked — like a deer in headlights, like, ‘What is he doing here?’ He had the weirdest smile on his face, like an evil grin,” Shannon recalled.

The confrontation quickly escalated into violence. After a heated argument between the two men, witnesses, including Shannon, rushed outside in an attempt to defuse the situation. But Lowe returned to his car, retrieved a gun — the same one, Shannon says, that he had once used to threaten her — and fatally shot Jermaine in the chest. The crime occurred in the church parking lot, in front of Jermaine’s mother, Shannon’s son, and during her mother’s funeral.

Lowe’s plea comes after months of fear and harassment endured by Shannon and her husband. According to Shannon, her ex-husband had been making threats for months, harassing her and Jermaine, and warning them that if he couldn’t have her, no one else could. “He would threaten to kill us and threaten to pop up at our events and kill us,” she said, explaining that Lowe had tried to claim 50% of her business profits. “My husband was simply trying to defend me.”

Despite the months of tension and red flags, the fatal day arrived when Lowe followed through on his threats. Shannon, now a widow, has been left with the unimaginable pain of losing her husband. Jermaine had been her friend for 15 years before their marriage, and the couple had been married for only three months. They were planning their wedding reception for later that month.

Shannon hopes her story will serve as a warning to others. “When it comes to domestic violence, don’t ignore the signs. Don’t ignore the red flags,” she urged.

Lowe’s dark past includes a history of violence. Court records reveal that in 2017, he was charged with rape and strangulation, and in 2021, with domestic battery — though these charges were later dismissed. As part of the plea deal, a murder charge was dropped, and Lowe agreed to a 40-year prison sentence, which will be finalized at a hearing on September 13.

This heartbreaking case serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of domestic violence and the importance of recognizing the warning signs before it’s too late. Shannon continues to mourn her husband, Jermaine, a man she described as having a “beautiful spirit” who never met a stranger. “I’m going to remember those things,” she said. “It just pains me deeply that he is not here. I’m a widow.”

Fake Dentist in Atlanta Arrested for Illegally Practicing Without a License

An Atlanta man, Brandon Dillard, who claims to be a top veneer specialist, has been illegally practicing dentistry and medicine for years without a valid license, according to law enforcement authorities. Despite his social media presence, where he presents himself as a professional, authorities have confirmed that Dillard is not and has never been a licensed dentist.

“Brandon Dillard is not a dentist. He’s never been a dentist. And as much as he may want to play one on Instagram, he is not one,” stated Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten.

Dillard ran a business known as A List Smiles Atlanta, which boasts 157,000 followers on Instagram. His company has been in operation since 2021, primarily focusing on cosmetic veneer procedures. Veneers, which are thin shells applied to the surface of teeth, can lead to significant medical complications when not properly installed, including infections and damage to the underlying teeth.

Last Thursday, investigators from the district attorney’s office, along with Atlanta police, raided the business located in Northeast Atlanta. The raid was conducted following the discovery that Dillard had been performing dental work without the required licensing. Criminal arrest warrants revealed that Dillard has never been qualified to legally practice dentistry or medicine.

As a result, Dillard now faces eight felony charges, including practicing dentistry without a license, practicing medicine without a license, and theft by deception. The allegations against him have raised concerns over the safety and well-being of his clients, many of whom trusted his credentials based on his social media popularity.

The incident serves as a stark reminder for individuals seeking medical and cosmetic treatments to verify the qualifications of their providers, especially in the age of social media, where appearances can be misleading.

Houston Man Arrested After Fatal Shooting of Ex-Girlfriend at Child's Birthday Party.

A tragic event unfolded at a 6-year-old's birthday party in Houston, Texas, when a mother was shot and killed in front of her children. Jalen Whitlock, 25, lost her life outside her home on Locksley Road, during what was meant to be a celebration for her child. The incident occurred around 8:35 p.m. on Thursday, September 12, according to Houston police.

The suspect, 27-year-old Jalin J. Foreman, who is also the father of Whitlock's two children, turned himself in to authorities on Monday, September 16. He is now facing a murder charge and is currently being held at the Harris County Jail.

According to witnesses and a criminal complaint, the confrontation began when Foreman arrived at Whitlock’s home during the party. He allegedly shot at the townhouse multiple times while yelling threats, including, "I’m not scared of you," and "I know where you live." Moments after driving away, Foreman reportedly returned, shouting, "We’re going to end this now."

Whitlock’s boyfriend, who was present at the scene, told police that Foreman had come by to drop off birthday gifts for his daughter. However, Whitlock had made it clear to him that Foreman was not welcome at the house. Despite this, Foreman left the gifts at the door, but an argument quickly escalated between him and Whitlock’s boyfriend.

The boyfriend claimed that Foreman began taunting him, challenging him to a fight and threatening violence. Sensing the situation might worsen, Whitlock’s boyfriend retreated to the kitchen to retrieve a gun from the house. When he returned to the front door, Foreman allegedly fired his weapon. The boyfriend responded by shooting back, but the damage had already been done — Whitlock had been hit and was found lying on the floor.

After the shooting, Foreman fled the scene, leaving behind a shattered family. The details of the event are still under investigation, and Foreman’s attorney has so far declined to comment on the case.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a grim reminder of how quickly domestic disputes can turn violent, with innocent lives often caught in the crossfire. Jalen Whitlock’s death not only cuts short the life of a young mother but leaves two children to grapple with the trauma of losing their mother in such a tragic way.

Louis Vuitton Faces Racial Discrimination Lawsuit: Black Mom, Daughter, and Friend Sue After Spending $500,000 Annually

A lawsuit filed in California against luxury brand Louis Vuitton has sparked a debate about racial discrimination in high-end retail. Tracy Renne Williams, a VIP client who reportedly spends upwards of $500,000 with the brand annually, has accused Louis Vuitton of racial profiling and banning her from stores simply for “shopping while Black.”

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Williams, her daughter Brandi Williams, and a friend, Kristopher Enoch, claims that the trio faced blatant discrimination and were denied service despite being long-time customers. The core of the issue began in September 2022, when Tracy preordered $50,000 worth of luxury items. However, instead of receiving her merchandise, she got an unexpected email informing her that Louis Vuitton would no longer assist her, essentially banning her from making further purchases.

Determined to find out what was going on, Tracy attempted to shop at a Beverly Hills Louis Vuitton location. There, she was reportedly told she could not shop and was threatened with arrest if she stayed or returned to the store. To make matters worse, Tracy never received a refund for her $50,000 preorder nor the actual merchandise she had purchased.

In a bold move to expose the racial bias, she sent her white assistant to purchase the same items in-store. As detailed in the lawsuit, he was met with courteous service, faced no obstacles, and was allowed to pay in cash without any issues. This difference in treatment only reinforced the plaintiffs’ claims of racial discrimination.

The fallout from the ban didn’t stop at personal inconvenience. Tracy Williams, an influential figure on social media, claims she took a financial hit of $40,000 because she could no longer showcase her luxury purchases to her followers, a significant part of her brand.

In another instance, Tracy attempted to buy nine pairs of limited-edition sneakers but was blocked due to the ban. These sneakers, which are now being resold for up to $1,000,000 per pair, represent a substantial missed opportunity.

The lawsuit paints a damning picture of Louis Vuitton, bringing to light the way luxury brands may treat Black customers, even those who contribute significantly to their bottom line. At a time when racial justice is a priority for many companies, the allegations against Louis Vuitton serve as a stark reminder that racial discrimination is still pervasive—even in spaces of high-end retail.

As the lawsuit unfolds, it will test not only Louis Vuitton’s commitment to diversity and inclusion but also challenge other luxury brands to reexamine their policies and how they treat their Black clientele. The case is an urgent call to action for the luxury fashion industry, reminding them that racial bias, whether subtle or blatant, has no place in modern retail.

Chicago Man Found Dead Against Tree with Rope Around Neck in North Carolina: Sheriff's Office Denies Lynching.

The tragic death of a 21-year-old Black man in North Carolina has sparked widespread concern and suspicion, particularly on social media. Javion Magee, a truck driver from the Chicago area, was found dead on Wednesday in a rural part of Vance County, North Carolina, just off Vanco Mill Road. Investigators discovered Magee with his back against a tree and a rope around his neck, not far from the truck he had been driving.

Magee had traveled to Henderson, North Carolina, to make a delivery to a Walmart distribution center. His family, who remain in Chicago, are now demanding transparency and answers from the Vance County Sheriff's Office regarding the circumstances surrounding his death. Many on social media have suggested foul play, further fueling rumors of a potential lynching.

Sheriff Curtis R. Brame, however, has pushed back against these allegations. Speaking with ABC11 on Friday, Brame emphasized that there were no signs of foul play in Magee’s death, and that evidence pointed to him purchasing the rope from a nearby Walmart shortly before the incident. Despite this statement, the sheriff declined to offer further details on the investigation.

In response to social media accusations that the sheriff's office has not been transparent with the family, Brame stated, "There's been information put out there that there's a lynching in Vance County. There is not a lynching in Vance County." He continued to clarify that Magee was found sitting against the tree, with the rope around his neck, but emphasized that the situation did not involve a noose or any traditional signs of a lynching.

However, Magee's family remains deeply suspicious. Their spokesperson, Candice Matthews, expressed frustration, saying, "A lot of this stuff does not pass the smell test and that's a problem. The entire family is completely mortified and they are hurt. They just want to know what happened to their loved one."

Locals in Henderson also voiced concerns, pointing to the region's history of racial violence. "We do live in the South, and there's a deep history of racism and racist acts," said Khalil Gay, a Henderson resident. "So people are obviously concerned about that."

Magee’s body has been sent to the medical examiner for an autopsy, which will provide an official cause of death. Meanwhile, the community—and Magee’s family—await answers.

Granddaughter Arrested for Allegedly Paying Ex-Boyfriend $1000 After Murder of Elderly Grandparents. Police Claim She Was Due To Inherit Their Home After Their Deaths.

A chilling case out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has taken a dark turn as 34-year-old Jalisa Michelle Hill was arrested on Thursday, accused of playing a role in the brutal murder of her elderly grandparents, Major and Claudette Melvin. Court documents reveal Hill allegedly paid her ex-boyfriend, 30-year-old Maurice Newson, $1,000 following the killings, raising suspicions of her involvement in a plot to inherit her grandparents' home.

The Melvins, aged 89 and 85, were found shot to death in their home on March 22. Their vehicle, a red 2014 Ford Fusion, was missing but later discovered in a tow yard. Newson, already in police custody since May for the stolen vehicle, is now charged with the couple’s murder. Authorities claim that Newson, struggling financially after being fired from Spirit Airlines for workplace violence, was paid by Hill to carry out the fatal shooting.

Surveillance footage from a neighbor’s camera captured a suspect arriving at the Melvins' home around 1 a.m. on March 22, with the victims’ vehicle leaving the property just hours later. That same day, the car was sold for $200 to a towing company.

Investigators traced the sale of the car back to Newson, linking him to the crime. Their suspicion of Hill grew after they discovered documents in her possession regarding renovations and pest control for her grandparents' home. Hill allegedly claimed she was next in line to inherit the property upon their passing, further adding to the suspicion of a calculated motive.

Adding to the complexity, Hill had filed an insurance claim for the stolen vehicle but reportedly withheld information about her grandparents' deaths. Investigators found that she was eager to ensure the payment check was not made out to her deceased grandmother.

In May, Hill was subjected to a polygraph test conducted by the FBI. The results indicated deception when questioned about her involvement in the murders, according to the affidavit. Initially, she denied any plans to inherit her grandparents' home, but her story began to unravel under further questioning.

The relationship between Hill and Newson was long-term, though Hill claimed they rarely spoke or saw each other. Yet, records revealed that just after the murders, Hill sent $1,000 to a man who, in turn, transferred the money to Newson using the Zelle payment app.

Hill’s family is struggling to reconcile these accusations. With 28 grandchildren in the family, some had already expressed suspicions that a relative might have been involved. Dennis J. Parker, the couple’s son, voiced his internal conflict, stating, “At the end of the day, Jalisa is my niece and I can’t really see her being involved in anything like that, but the law speaks for itself.”

Both Hill and Newson remain in custody, facing charges of first-degree murder, with neither currently eligible for bail. As this tragic case unfolds, more details about the alleged conspiracy continue to surface, leaving a family devastated and searching for answers. Hill was expected to make her first court appearance Friday afternoon.

Florida Mother Arrested for Throwing 1-Year-Old Daughter Out of Car Over Spilled Shampoo.

A Florida mother, furious over spilled shampoo, is facing felony child neglect and abuse charges after allegedly pushing her 1-year-old daughter out of a moving car onto the asphalt in Hialeah. The incident, which took place on the night of September 5, has left witnesses horrified and added another legal issue to the mother’s troubling criminal history.

Incident Unfolds in Hialeah

The shocking event occurred around 8:30 p.m. near NW 37th Avenue and NW 54th Street. Tasshay Chelsea Mills, 29, allegedly flew into a rage after shampoo was spilled in the back seat of her 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. According to a woman inside the car, this anger caused Mills to hit her daughter before pushing her out of the vehicle and onto the road.

A nearby couple, driving behind Mills’ car, witnessed the horrific moment and immediately stopped to help. The 1-year-old girl was found bleeding from her head as concerned onlookers rushed to her aid.

One of the rescuers, a mother herself, later described the moment to reporters, saying she was “more in shock than anything.” She expressed gratitude that she and her boyfriend were there that night to help.

Erratic Behavior and Confrontation

After pushing her daughter from the car, Mills reportedly sped off, only to return moments later in a dramatic U-turn. Ring camera footage captured what happened next: Mills approached the woman who had rescued her child and forcibly took the baby from her arms.

In the video, the witness can be heard saying, “I’m not giving you this baby,” before Mills angrily declared, “That is my baby,” and snatched the child. The witness was left frantically calling for help, while her boyfriend shouted in disbelief, “The baby is all messed up. You’re trippin’, bruh.”

Arrest and Charges

Mills was soon apprehended by Miramar Police. In her statement to authorities, she claimed she did not push her daughter but had merely “removed” her to clean the seat. Despite her explanation, Mills now faces charges of felony neglect and abuse. She has since been released on a $7,500 bond but has been ordered to stay away from her child.

This case is not the first time Mills has been in trouble with the law. Court records reveal previous charges for theft, assault, and probation violations.

Court Date Set

Mills is scheduled for arraignment on October 10. Until then, the court has ordered her to remain separated from her child. The young girl, for now, is safe, thanks to the quick actions of bystanders who prevented further harm that night.

The case serves as a disturbing reminder of how a moment of anger can have far-reaching consequences, both for the child involved and the future legal battles that Mills will now face.

Teen Kills Mother in Florida, One Year After Killing His Father.

A 17-year-old boy in Florida has been charged with the murder of his mother, just a year after killing his father in Oklahoma. According to authorities, Collin Griffith called 911 on Sunday night, claiming his 39-year-old mother, Catherine Griffith, had been stabbed in the neck after she attacked him with a knife during a fight. He told police she fell on the knife, but investigators quickly found evidence that contradicted his account.

When officers arrived at the home, Catherine was already dead. Collin initially spoke with police but became "uncooperative" when asked for details and demanded a lawyer. Witnesses nearby reported hearing a loud argument between Collin and his mother outside the home. They saw Collin drag his mother inside the house by her hair while she begged, “Let me go.”

One neighbor, Nancy K. Jones, said she heard the commotion and saw Collin forcibly pulling his mother inside. "He just grabbed her — looked like he grabbed her by the hair," Jones told local news station WFLA.

Collin’s grandmother, who owns the house where the incident took place but was not present at the time, informed police that the teen had a history of violent behavior toward his mother. According to reports, she had previously mentioned that Collin “had problems” and had been physically or verbally aggressive in the past.

An autopsy confirmed that Catherine had died from a deep knife wound to the neck. The medical examiner determined the wound was not consistent with an accidental injury, further discrediting Collin's story.

This isn’t the first time Collin has been linked to a violent death in his family. In 2023, when he was just 15 years old, Collin fatally shot his father, Charles Robert Griffith, during a confrontation in their Oklahoma home on Valentine’s Day. At the time, Collin claimed he shot his father in self-defense after being cornered. He fired two shots, one to the chest and one to the head, and the charges were eventually dropped, as self-defense couldn’t be ruled out.

After his father's death, Collin was reunited with his mother. Despite her efforts to help him, including paying $50,000 for his bail, their relationship remained volatile. According to authorities, Collin had even threatened to kill his mother at one point before the tragic incident on Sunday.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd did not hold back his condemnation of the teen. "Collin Griffith is a violent predator — he has now killed both his father and his mother,” Judd said in a statement. “We will hold him accountable in Polk County and do everything we can to keep him separated from civil society.”

Collin has been charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and violating a no-contact order.

Deshaun Watson Accused of Sexual Assault by Unnamed Woman from 2020 Encounter

28 year old NFL quarter back Deshaun Watson is being accused of sexually assaulting an unnamed woman during a 2020 date.

According to TMZ, Watson reportedly met the woman while at a bar in Houston and after several months of texting the two decided to meet up for a date. The woman claims Watkins invited her out for a date, but due to her not wanting it to be public, she requested he come to her home and they have a private dinner.

In documents, the woman alleges the night of the date Watson was trying to find her home, but became frustrated he was unable to find it and exploded on her saying "I don't have time for this".

After finally reaching her home, she went on to claim she asked him to sit in the living room while she finished getting ready. After finishing getting ready, she claims she found Watson face down in her bed, naked and demanding a butt massage.

Following this, the woman is claiming she complied with his request and began massaging his back. A few moments later, he allegedly grabbed he, put her on the bed, and reportedly sexually assaulted her for several minutes. She claims she was able to free herself and grab a heavy piece of home decor to protect herself, which lead to Watson angrily storming out.

The woman claims she attempted to handle this privately, but was unable to reach an amicable decision so she decided to publicly pursue legal action. She is suing Watson for more than 1 million dollars.

Georgia Woman Charged With Concealing The Death Of A Friend Who's Body Was Found With A Missing Head, She Collected Over $ 200K In SSI Benefits Under Deceased Friend’s Name.

A Georgia woman has been arrested in connection to a 2007 cold case involving the gruesome discovery of a dismembered body belonging to a New York woman. The case, which had remained unsolved for years, also involved significant financial fraud, with the suspect allegedly collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits under the victim’s identity.

On December 6, 2007, law enforcement from the Troup County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a suspicious black bag found burning at a crossroads in rural Georgia. Upon inspecting the scene, they found severely burned human remains that were missing key body parts, including the head, hands, and feet. Despite initial efforts to identify the victim, the investigation stalled.

In 2023, the case was reopened, and with the help of modern forensic techniques, DNA evidence was submitted to two labs specializing in advanced genetic analysis—Innovative Forensic Investigations in Virginia and Gene by Gene Laboratories in Texas. The results, confirmed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on December 13, 2023, identified the remains as 24-year-old Nicole Alston from Manhattan, New York.

Authorities revealed that Alston had relocated to Atlanta with a friend, Angel Marie Thompson, who had been wanted in New York for crimes related to theft and identity fraud. Alston’s family last heard from her around Thanksgiving 2007, just weeks before her remains were found in Georgia.

Further investigation into Alston’s death led to a disturbing discovery. After her friend’s death, Thompson allegedly assumed Alston’s identity, collecting roughly $200,000 in Social Security benefits, food stamps, and government housing assistance in Alston’s name. This fraudulent activity continued for nearly eight years. In 2015, Thompson began using her real identity again after being contacted by the Social Security Administration to requalify for benefits.

On August 19, 2024, Thompson was arrested and charged with concealing Alston’s death. While she faces charges related to hiding the death and financial fraud, the exact details surrounding Alston’s murder remain unresolved. Authorities are still working to determine who was responsible for the killing and how Alston died.

As the investigation moves forward, detectives are hopeful they can uncover the truth behind this unsettling case and provide justice for Nicole Alston.

Family Demands Answers After 71-Year-Old Man Found Dead in Nursing Home Storage Closet.

A South Florida family is in shock and grief after the body of their loved one, 71-year-old Elin Etienne, was found decomposing in a storage closet at the North Dade Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Miami-Dade. The discovery was made nearly two weeks after the nursing home informed his family that he had gone missing. Now, the family is demanding answers and justice, raising serious concerns about the care and attention provided by the facility.

The tragedy came to light when Rivly Breus, Etienne’s niece, spoke out on Tuesday, expressing the family’s frustration and sorrow. “We want to know what the cause of death was and why he died in a closet—or if he died in a closet,” Breus told CBS News Miami. “It’s troubling to think that he was decomposing in that closet for two weeks, potentially putting other residents at risk. Our questions are not being answered because the staff won’t speak with us.”

The family’s anguish is compounded by the fact that Etienne’s body was reportedly so decomposed that the coroner has been unable to positively identify him without dental records. Despite this, the family is convinced that the body is Etienne’s and is desperate for explanations. “We need to get some answers about what happened to Elin,” Breus said. “This is very upsetting to all of us.”

Keisha, Etienne’s only grandchild, was particularly close to him, describing their bond as one of a kind. “Everybody knows my grandpa loved me. I was his soft spot, his baby, his princess,” she said, holding back tears. “He didn’t deserve this, and it hurts even more that the nursing home won’t give us any answers.”

Etienne’s family described him as a lively, confident man with a feisty personality. Originally from Haiti, he had migrated to the United States over 30 years ago, becoming a chef and helping relatives achieve their American dreams. However, his health had declined in recent years after suffering two strokes, developing dementia, and an aneurysm that affected his mobility and cognitive functions. Hoping for rehabilitation, his family sent him to the nursing home, believing he

Florida Woman Accused Of K*lling Her Boyfriend's 9-Year-Old Daughter By Reportedly Having Their Dog Attack Her, Then Beating Her To Death .

Florida authorities have arrested a 34-year-old woman in connection with the tragic death of her boyfriend’s 9-year-old daughter. Evidence reportedly shows the woman directing a 100-pound dog to attack the child before physically assaulting her herself. Tyshael Elise Martin has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of Jamaria Sessions, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a home on the morning of June 17th in Montverde, where they discovered Jamaria unresponsive. Paramedics found her unclothed and covered in a variety of injuries, including abrasions, small puncture wounds, burns, and bruises, all in different stages of healing, as stated in the arrest affidavit.

Martin told authorities that the family had planned to travel to California for a vacation that day. She claimed she tried to wake Jamaria, but the child was cold and unresponsive.

Detectives reviewed nearly 3,000 videos from surveillance cameras inside and outside the home, focusing on six videos recorded shortly before midnight on June 15th. These videos allegedly show Jamaria being attacked by the family’s 103-pound Rottweiler. In the footage, Martin can reportedly be seen holding the dog’s leash, encouraging the animal to bite Jamaria, who was lying just out of the camera’s view.

Subsequent footage depicts Jamaria staggering and disoriented, her hair disheveled and extensions falling out. Investigators believe the dog bit Jamaria’s head and pulled her hair under Martin's direction. The affidavit states that Martin then forced Jamaria to stand with her arms raised. When the child wavered, Martin allegedly kicked her, causing her to fall to the ground.

“The child lay motionless, moaning in pain, as Tyshael Martin continued to kick her hip and eventually her stomach area at full force,” deputies detailed in the affidavit. “When the child did not get up, Tyshael Martin then grabbed the child by her hair, pulling her across the floor, with minimal resistance by Jamaria Sessions, who appeared to be disorientated and motionless.” Martin was also heard saying, “I’m going to kill her,” or words to that effect.

Further investigation revealed that Martin allegedly used exercise as a form of punishment, forcing Jamaria to do wall sits for long periods, run in place with her hands up, and run on a treadmill. Martin is also accused of kicking, punching, and pinching the child.

On Tuesday, an autopsy determined that Jamaria died from blunt force trauma to the head, torso, and extremities, in addition to thermal injuries to her right foot. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide. Authorities arrested Martin on Wednesday, and she is currently being held without bond at the Lake County Jail. She made her first court appearance on Thursday.
