A woman has surrendered to police after a three-year-old Philadelphia child who was in her care died from blunt force trauma last week, according to officials.
Kianna Casey surrendered to authorities on Tuesday and is being charged with third-degree murder, according to her attorney.
Casey’s attorney, Coley Reynolds, tells FOX 29’s Kelly Rule that Jones was not Casey’s biological child and that she was adopting or fostering the girl at the time of her death. Reynolds says the child was in Casey’s care for about a year and that a Department of Human Services representative was at the home on 2600 Holbrook Street for a routine visit on the day she died.
Philadelphia DHS says the child was receiving foster care services through NET Treatment Services Inc, Community Umbrella Agency No. 1. "We are incredibly saddened to learn of the death of this child," DHS said. "We offer our sincere condolences to the family on this tragic loss."
