2 Weeks After Plainfield Infant's Death Ruled Homicide, No Updates: Sheriff

PLAINFIELD, IL — Two weeks after an infant died in Plainfield and his death was ruled a homicide, the Will County Sheriff's Office said no charges have been filed in the case.

A 2-month-old boy from Plainfield died April 28 as a result of assault and multiple injuries, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner. The manner of death was listed as a homicide, Patch reported.

Will County sheriff's deputies were called two evenings earlier to a home in the 14100 block of South Lehigh Drive to assist the Lockport Township Fire Department on an assignment for an unresponsive infant. The residence has a Plainfield address but falls in unincorporated Will County and under the Will County Sheriff's Office's jurisdiction.
