An Elkhart woman has been charged with neglect after her child died last year.

It happened on February 7, 2021, when police were called to a hotel on Cassopolis Street, on reports of an unresponsive child.

The infant was taken to Elkhart General Hospital and pronounced dead.

The woman, 26-year-old Keshawn Walker, told police she swaddled the boy, but later found him face down in the pillow.

The Elkhart Truth reports that Walker had been receiving safe sleeping method training from the Department of Human Services.

She is charged with neglect and a warrant for her arrest was issued on Monday.
