A grand jury has certified felony child neglect charges against an aunt and an uncle in the death of their 14-month-old nephew in Colonial Heights.
Police have been investigating the case for nearly a year. On Jan. 24, 2017, police and EMS crews responded to the report of a 14-month-old male child who was unresponsive.
That child - King Edward Harvey - was pronounced dead on the scene. The medical examiner ruled blunt force trauma is the cause of death.
"Unfortunately, we're not able to say what that trauma was, but what we are able to say is that the hours that led up to his death he needed medical attention medical attention he didn't get," explained Captain William Anspach with Colonial Heights Police.
After months of investigation, "based on information obtained," the police department said, "indictments were issued for both Winter Harvey and Damarcus Harvey Sr. for one charge each of felony child neglect."
Winter Harvey and Damarcus Harvey were arrested and served with the outstanding warrants.
