A 27-year-old man and a 15-year-old teenager were arrested in Wisconsin, USA, on suspicion of being connected to these incidents.
It is a story that moved the American public. A 5-year-old boy was found dead in a dumpster near his home Thursday, a day after he was reported missing in Wisconsin. Two suspects, a 27-year-old man and a 15-year-old teenager, were arrested and taken into custody, People magazine reports.
Prince McCree, 5, disappeared from home on Wednesday, causing great concern among his parents, who live in a relatively quiet area of the city of Milwaukee.
After warning the police, he started a door-to-door campaign – in vain. A disturbing warning about the disappearance was subsequently circulated in the media. The search continued until the child was found lifeless in a dumpster about 15 kilometers from his home on Thursday morning.
Two suspects taken into custody
Milwaukee police have since launched a “homicide” investigation and have managed to identify two suspects, a man and a teenager, who live together. The latter were taken into police custody.
The investigation continues to clarify several gray areas in the case. At the moment we don’t know what connections the suspects have to the little boy. We also don’t know the exact causes of death.
A fundraiser started on GoFundMe to help pay for the little boy’s funeral has so far raised $16,000.
