'Disregard for human life': Woman arrested following death of 3-year-old child near 29th and Concordia
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee police are investigating the death of a 3-year-old child near 29th and Concordia.
Da'Quarius Berry was found unresponsive inside of a home; he was pronounced dead after being rushed to a hospital.
In a newly filed search warrant Berry's mother, Zaquitta Joiner Murphy, left her son with her boyfriend.
She was gone for about 30 minutes, dropping her other children off at school. When she came back, she found Berry lying on the floor and foaming from his mouth.
The search warrant says medical staff found a large hemorrhage in Berry's abdomen which would have been caused by "non-accidental trauma."
The warrant explains the situation as "complete utter disregard for human life."
A 34-year-old woman faces charges of first-degree reckless homicide in connection to his death.
As of right now, his exact cause of death is not clear.
This case has been referred to the Milwaukee District Attorney's Office but is still pending investigation at this time.
