The father and aunt of a 4-year-old girl have been charged with killing her. She was killed by “extreme” alcohol poisoning, Alpharetta police spokesman George Gordon said.
Officers told Channel 2’s Mike Petchenik that they were called to a condo unit on Homestead Trail in Alpharetta for a medical emergency just after midnight Friday. Neighbors said the home is occupied by a family with several children.
A 4-year-old girl was transported from the home to an area hospital and later died, police said. They aren’t releasing the child’s name because she is a minor.
The victim’s father and aunt were both charged with felony cruelty to children and felony murder. Gordon said their names are being withheld pending notification of family members.
