A woman on the nearby west side killed her 2 -month -old son by throwing him in their apartment floor, claiming officials in newly submitted judicial documents claim.
Lauryn Shakespeare, 25, called on the police to her apartment in the 100 block of North Ashland around 8.15 am on 2 June, said a Chicago police report. She told First Responders that Loyal had slept with her and that she woke up not to respond, according to the report.
The fire brigade took loyal to the Stroger Hospital, where he died about an hour later.
The police noted in their report that Shakespeare has provided “inconsistent statements” on the spot. An autopsy revealed that the baby was a cerebral hematoma and a linear fracture on the right side of his head, considered injuries as “inconsistent” with Shakespeare’s report of the events, according to the report.
Prosecutors claim that Shakespeare was planning to seriously injure or kill Loyal by throwing him on the floor. They accused her of murder of the first degree and murder.
She was admitted to the hospital for a non -known state on Friday and, according to the court reports, could not be able to attend her detention in the Leighton criminal court. Cook County Judge Ankur Srivastava ordered her to hold on to in custody until she can appear personally, as required by the Law of Illinois for Detention requests.
