Canton police: Toddler beaten and killed, parents charged with murder
THERE IS NO SUBCULTURE ON EARTH MORE VVIOLENT THAN BLACK AMERICA
Toddler’s heart ‘ripped in half’ while under care of mom’s boyfriend, Indiana cops say
A 17-month-old child likely died in minutes due to injuries he suffered while in the care of his mother’s boyfriend, Indiana police say.
The boyfriend, 27-year-old Shaquille Rowe, was charged with battery of a minor causing death and neglect of a dependent resulting in death, court records show. The boy was identified by the Allen County coroner as Aiden Mishawn Clark.
According to court records obtained by WPTA, Rowe told police his girlfriend left him at a Fort Wayne home with her twin children. At one point after she left, Rowe said he was showering when he heard one of the children crying, court records show.
Aiden was wheezing and not breathing properly while he was lying on the ground, so Rowe says he called 911 and attempted CPR, according to an affidavit.
“Why did she leave me in the house like this?” Rowe said on the 911 call, according to WANE.
Rowe was giving the child CPR when first responders arrived, and the boy was taken to a hospital by ambulance, according to the affidavit. Aiden was pronounced dead at the hospital.
First responders found bruising to Aiden’s neck and chest that they believed was indicative of “some type of abuse,” police said, according to WANE. That was confirmed in an autopsy performed Tuesday.
The coroner ruled Aiden died from blunt force injuries to the chest, calling the death a homicide.
Aiden suffered a fractured sternum and his heart “was ripped in half,” according to the affidavit. He also suffered a “massive amount” of blood loss to his spleen, kidney and pancreas, WANE reported from court documents.
Aiden likely died within two to five minutes of suffering his injuries, according to court records.
The boy’s mother declined to speak with police, only saying that she left the twins alone with Rowe around two hours before he called 911.
Rowe met his bail Wednesday and is due in court next Monday, WPTA reported. Homicide charges have not been filed.
Panel to advise if Georgia sheriff should be suspended
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's governor on Wednesday appointed a panel to determine whether a sheriff accused of violating the civil rights of several people in his custody should be suspended pending the outcome of federal charges.
A federal grand jury last month indicted Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill. The indictment accuses the sheriff of repeatedly ordering detainees to be put in a restraint chair for hours even though they posed no threat and had complied with deputies. The indictment alleges the restraint chairs were improperly used as punishment.
Hill has said the prosecution is politically motivated.
One of his lawyers, Drew Findling, has called the case against Hill “nonsensical” but said Wednesday that since the panel is provided for by law, his client doesn't see its appointment negatively.
A federal magistrate judge authorized Hill's release on bond.
Georgia law allows the governor to convene a review commission made up of two sheriffs and the state attorney general to investigate and recommend whether a sheriff facing criminal or ethics charges should be suspended pending the outcome.
In an executive order Wednesday, Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Attorney General Chris Carr, Burke County Sheriff Alfonzo Williams and Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds to determine whether the indictment affects Hill's duties in such a way that it could have an adverse effect on the public.
The panel is to report back to Kemp within 14 days.
Findling said he's confident that the review commission “will recognize the indictment is an overreach by the federal government to interfere with a duly elected sheriff devoted to maintaining security at the Clayton County jail.”
Restraint chairs are used at jails throughout the country, and all health and safety procedures were complied with in its use at the Clayton County jail, Findling said.
"At the end, we are confident that Gov. Kemp, who has demonstrated that he will not be dictated to by the federal government and has committed himself to combatting violent crime, will not suspend Sheriff Victor Hill, who is well documented as one of Georgia’s most devoted anti-crime law enforcement officers,” he said.
The Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, which certifies law enforcement officers in Georgia, has opened an investigation, which it does whenever an officer faces criminal charges, executive director Mike Ayers said.
