CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
Video posted on social media shows the interaction between a father and his 4-year-old daughter, Aniya Day-Garrett.
Around 11:30 a.m. on March 11, Euclid police and fire were called to Aniya’s mother’s home at the Cultural Garden Apartments on Lake Shore Boulevard for a report of an unresponsive child.
The 4-year-old girl died at the hospital. She suffered a stroke from blunt force trauma and also showed signs of malnourishment, according to officials.
Her mother Sierra Day and her boyfriend Deonte Lewis have been charged in her death with aggravated murder. They are being held on a $1 million bond each.
Children and Family Services confirmed they received three calls about the little girl and at some point opened a six-week investigation but they say there was not enough evidence to warrant the 4-year-old’s removal from the home.
The father in the social media video is Mickhal Garrett.
He tried to gain custody of Aniya, according to court documents.
