On September 29, 2022, at approximately 2:15 am, police were called to a home in the 0 to 100 block of Bannister Manor Southeast after someone reported a small child in medical distress.
“The child was transported to the hospital by EMS, however, life-saving efforts were unsuccessful and the two-year-old girl was pronounced dead,” police said.
