An Elkhart woman has been arrested in connection with the death of her 6-month-old daughter.

It was back on the evening of July 7 when medics were called to an apartment in the 300 block of Middlebury Street.

On scene, they found the baby unconscious and not breathing. The baby died at the hospital the next day.

Elkhart County Homicide investigators say there were several visible injuries on the baby girl’s body. The baby’s cause of death was ruled a homicide.

The child’s mother, 24-year-old Alauraeve Allen has admitted to polie that she became angry with her daughter and shook her.
