A woman accused of killing her own baby is expected to stand trial this month.

Reports say Elkhart police and fire departments were dispatched to an apartment on Middlebury St. concerning a 6-month-old baby who was unconscious and not breathing.

The baby was taken to the hospital where she died the next day. Investigators say the baby had visible injuries on her body, and the cause of her death was ruled a homicide.

The mother, 24-year-old Alauraeve Allen, had reportedly gotten angry with the baby and shook her before striking the baby and causing the injuries. The Goshen News says arrangements continue to be made for her trial set for March 17.
