Body of missing Chicago boy found in Minneapolis
Demond Reed, a 4-year-old Chicago boy living with his cousin in Minneapolis, was reported missing last Wednesday. Upon further investigation, Minneapolis police actually found Desmond’s body inside the house where he was staying:
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office is trying to determine how and when Demond died, but police say they’re investigating it as a homicide.
His grandmother, Charmon Brown of the Chicago area, told KSTP-TV she had trusted the cousin to take care of Demond, but that the cousin had hurt the boy, and would not admit it at first.
Brown told the station she realized something was wrong when the boy disappeared Wednesday and the cousin couldn’t tell a straight story about what happened.
The cousin has been arrested but not yet formally charged. Demond was placed in his cousin’s custody after his father was arrested last month on an unrelated case.
