Chilling Details Of A Child\u2019s Final Days<\/h2>\n

Spokane County, Washington has been rattled by the shocking details that have arisen<\/a> surrounding the wrongful death of 1-year-old Azaelia Raine RedHorse Jones.<\/p>\n

The man charged with the death of Azaelia is 19-year-old Mickey Brown Jr. of Spokane, Azaelia\u2019s mom\u2019s most recent boyfriend. Brown had three active warrants in Kootenai County, Idaho, and another in Spokane County for theft at the time of his booking. His bond was raised to $1,000,250 after a review of the severity of his case, in addition to his failure to show up for previous court dates. He is currently held in the Spokane County Jail on charges of second-degree murder.<\/p>\n

Brown first claimed that the toddler had a seizure while in the bathtub. He claims that he took Azaelia to his brother\u2019s house after the incident, where he performed CPR and called 9-1-1. The story given to police officers changes for the first time when Brown claims that Azaelia was knocked over by a dog, hitting her head on the ground the day before the accident in the bathtub. Although she showed signs of traumatic brain injury, they did not line up with a fall. Brown changed his story again claiming that Azaelia had a seizure while he was changing her diaper, and then a fourth time saying he dropped her, causing the toddler to land on her head while on his way to his brother\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

From the beginning, both doctors and police were skeptical of the stories provided to them by Brown. They claim that the injuries on Azaelia were not consistent with an accident, much less a seizure, dropping, or dog accident. They reportedly classified her injuries as \u201cnon-accidental\u201d, and that the \u201cinflicted trauma [was] indicative of child abuse\u201d. The doctors say that this level of abuse would have \u201cexposed her to unthinkable amounts of fear and pain\u201d. Medical professionals finalized their documents indicating that Azaelia\u2019s injuries would most likely lead to her death. Their suspicions were eventually confirmed when Azaelia died four days later in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Court documents arising in recent days revealed that Azaelia had been seen for serious injuries while under the care of Brown in the past, indicating a pattern of alleged abuse that had gone on for several months before her death.<\/p>\n
