Woman formally charged in death of Demond Reed
Carla Poole of Minneapolis, Minnesota has now been formally charged with the murder of Demond Reed. Demond, who was only 4 years old, was in Poole’s custody (she’s a family member) because his father had been incarcerated a month earlier. Poole allegedly beat Demond because he soiled his pants. Our heart is absolutely breaking right now for Demond, who obviously went through a lot of grief in his brief time in this world.
Poole is being held in Hennepin County Jail on $1 million bail.
According to a police documents, some of Poole’s children witnessed the beating of Demond Reed. An affidavit says one child told police Demond had a seizure and began to vomit, but Poole refused to call for help because she was afraid.
On Sunday, police found the 4-year-old’s body in a trash bag on the 3100 block of Morgan Ave. N. Demond Reed disappeared last Wednesday from a Minneapolis home while staying in the company of a family acquaintance.
