21-year-old Tyree Resnover and 19-year-old Kira Fear are both facing preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent causing death. Fear is the mother of the child, 16-month-old Dontrell Mcclung.

Two adults left a home in the 6000 block of Primrose Avenue at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday and traveled nearby to Keystone Avenue, where they flagged down an ambulance crew that determined the boy was dead. Homicide detectives have learned three adults from Marion, Indiana, were spending the night at the Airbnb home.

An autopsy conducted Thursday found that the child suffered blunt-force trauma and the coroner's office ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators found a spot in the basement the may have traces of the baby’s blood. Some of the baby’s toys and diapers were left behind at the rental house, they said.

It’s unclear when Dontrell died, but some people waved down a passing ambulance Wednesday morning to get help for the child.
