WYOMING, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a Grand Rapids-area infant died after not being fed for two days and left in an apartment with no air conditioning.
Court records say 22-year-old Lovily Kristine-Anwonette Johnson of Wyoming was charged Monday with first-degree murder and first-degree child abuse in the death of 6-month-old Noah Johnson.
An affidavit says Johnson took the already dead child to a hospital on Wednesday afternoon. She was arrested that day.
