Officers were called to an apartment building near East 13th and Vine streets about 1:30 p.m. They found a girl, 2, dead inside and a boy, 4, suffering from serious burns to his chest and back. Police say there is evidence inside the apartment of a fire and that appears to be what caused the girl's death and boy's injuries.
The mother of the victims was also inside the apartment along with her 11-month-old and a 9-year-old child, but none of them appeared to be injured. Police say the fire and death appear to have happened at least 12 hours before they were called.
KCTV5's Josh Marshall spoke to a family friend who said the mother's sister knocked on her door Wednesday, but the mother never answered. Worried, the sister contacted her pastor and the family friend. The family friend went to the mother's apartment Thursday and found it a mess, evidence of a fire and couldn't see all of her children. He took video of the apartment and called 911.
