KANSAS CITY —Detectives investigating the death of baby were notified Monday by medical examiners that the death of Giovanni Carr has been ruled a homicide based on their medical findings, according to KCPC Officer Alayna Gonzalez.

Just after 11:30p.m. June 15, police were dispatched to an EMS call for service at a residence in the 5300 block of Olive Street in Kansas City.

Responding officers observed a six month old infant unresponsive in the residence.  EMS transported the child to an area hospital for treatment. 

It was determined at the hospital the child had suffered significant physical bodily trauma. On June 20, detectives were notified the child had died from his injuries.

Detectives have continued to investigate this case since the date the incident occurred and have identified all people believed to be involved. They are not searching for any additional involved individuals at this time.

Detectives are hopeful to have the case file submitted to the prosecutors office in the coming days for consideration of applicable charges, according to Gonzalez.
