A 23-year-old man faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of a 2-year-old boy who police said was found “in distress” this week inside a Mesa apartment.
The Mesa Fire Department responded shortly after 4 a.m. Tuesday to a call for a child "in distress" at an apartment in the 400 block of Brown Road. The child was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead after receiving life-saving care, according to a police department release.
“Doctors observed suspicious bruising on the boy’s body and advised Mesa police,” the release stated, adding homicide detectives found evidence identifying Kishawn Porter as a suspect.
