Milwaukee police are investigating the death of a 3-year-old child at 29th and Concordia.
Da’Quarius Berry was discovered unresponsive inside a residence and pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital.
According to a newly filed search warrant, Berry’s mother, Zaquitta Joiner Murphy, abandoned her son with her boyfriend.
She was gone for approximately 30 minutes, dropping off her other children at school. When she returned, she discovered Berry lying on the floor, frothing from his mouth.
According to the search request, medical personnel discovered a massive bleed in Berry’s belly, likely caused by “non-accidental trauma.”
The warrant describes the scenario as “complete and utter disregard for human life.”
A 34-year-old woman is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in connection with his death.
As of right now, his actual cause of death remains unknown.
This case has been referred to the Milwaukee District Attorney’s Office, but it is still under investigation.
