5-year-old girl's death in East Baltimore investigated as questionable
BALTIMORE - A 5-year-old girl's death in East Baltimore is being investigated as questionable, according to police.
Officers were called Monday afternoon to the 2200 block of Aiken Street where the child was found with signs of trauma. She died a short time later.
Homicide detectives are investigating.
A next-door neighbor, who did not want to be identified, reported seeing multiple young children living inside the home at the center of the scene.
"I am grieving for the family," the neighbor said. "I was shocked, I was shocked, and displaced. I really didn't expect this to be coming from next door."
The medical examiner will determine the child's cause and manner of death through an autopsy.
