CLEVELAND — A woman is under arrest after the death of her 3-year-old son was ruled to be a homicide, Cleveland police confirmed Monday afternoon.
Officials say the incident occurred last Wednesday in the area of the Family Dollar store on the edge of the Hough neighborhood, where the child was found "unresponsive." He was rushed to University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center just down the street, but was later pronounced dead.
While the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner has not yet released an official cause of death, authorities say the case has been ruled to be a homicide, and the boy's mother was taken into custody this past weekend. Police have not given her name, nor have they indicated the exact charges she is facing.
