Infant’s Death Sparks Murder Probe | Indianapolis News

A three-month-old girl, Jaymalyn, died three days after being hospitalized with injuries too severe to explain by her father’s claim she was left in a hot car. Her father, Curtis Jenkins, 24, has been arrested on a preliminary murder charge after chilling audio from security cameras captured him mocking the baby’s cries and saying, “Yeah, I’m torturing you.” The infant’s mother, Jayla Cox, is devastated, pleading for justice, while her grandmother confirmed Jaymalyn was healthy when Jenkins took her. This was the first time Jenkins had been alone with the baby. Investigators are still piecing together the cause of death, while Jenkins allegedly tried to retrieve the footage himself and spoke to neighbors about what they might have heard. The prosecutor will decide on formal charges, and Jenkins remains in custody without bond, with his next court date next week. Child Services is also reviewing the family’s history.
