HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS CASE

According to Killeen Assistant Police Chief Alex Gearhart, officers responded to call from McLane Children's Hospital in Temple shortly before 12:30 PM Thursday, October 20. They were told a child had been transported to the hospital via ambulance from the 4900 block of John David Drive in Killeen with what Assistant Chief Gearhart referred to as "medical issues".

Sadly, the child, later identified as Omari Prince Sherron, was pronounced dead at the hospital at 2:15 PM that day, and his body was ordered sent to the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science for autopsy.
