HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Three people are in custody after the death of a toddler last summer, the Henrico Police Division said in an update Monday.
A news release from police says officers were called to the 5400 block of Williamsburg Road for a medical emergency on June 3, 2025.
When officers arrived, they found a 3-year-old girl who was unconscious and not breathing. First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said detectives worked with Child Protective Services, the Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner over the last six months to investigate the case. In September, the medical examiner ruled the toddler's death a homicide due to drug toxicity.
Jan. 12, a Henrico County grand jury issued criminal indictments for Tomeka Nichole Burton, 41, Harvey Joe Turner III, 42, and Jomaya Ciara Hunt, 19, all of Henrico.
Burton and Turner are charged with felony murder, two counts of child abuse, two counts of child endangerment and possession of a schedule I or II drug. Hunt is charged with two counts of child abuse.
Burton was arrested after the grand jury hearing on Jan. 12. Turner was arrested on Saturday, Jan. 17 and Hunt turned herself in on Thursday, Jan. 15.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact Det. J. Lozak at 804-501-5588 or submit tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 804-780-1000 or through the P3 app.
