The child, identified as Aalyiah Jerkins, was killed last Thursday and the coroner ruled the death a homicide, a result of blunt force head trauma.

The child was transported to a hospital but died on Dec. 20. Police noted inconsistencies in the story provided by the people who called 911 and investigated the circumstances surrounding the child's condition.
Police said an investigation remains in effect and so far there is no word on arrests.
