LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Lawrence police say a 2-year-old child whose body was found inside a parked car was in the care at the time of a family member who was not a parent.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that police on Monday identified the boy as Devonte Lashaun Turner. He was found Sunday evening after someone reported a child was left unattended in a car.
Police Chief Gregory Burns told reporters a death investigation was under way and that heat may have contributed to the boy’s death.
