Police said their guardian fled with a 7-month-old girl and at that time, officers were unable to locate her. The children left in the apartment were transported in good condition.

At around 6:30 p.m., officers returned for a well-being check when they discovered the 7-month-old baby unresponsive, suffering from blunt force trauma to the head.

The baby has been transported to Comer Children’s Hospital in critical condition.
