PEORIA – The investigation following the death of a child last month in Peoria has led to the arrest of both of his parents. On March 29th Peoria Police were called to the 1700 block of N. Gale for an 8-year-old child not breathing. The child was transported to an area hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced deceased. WHOI TV reported that the coroner said the child, identified as Navin Jones, was bruised, malnourished and weighed only 30 pounds. Authorities say detectives were able to interview 35-year-old Stephanie Jones and 40-year-old Brandon Walker, both of Peoria, as the child’s parents. They were arrested for Endangering the Life or Health of a Child that resulted in the child’s death. They are both being held at the Peoria County Jail on $100,000 bonds.
