(AP) – The death of a 2-year-old girl in Topeka is being investigated as a homicide.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Gabrielle E. Thompson was killed the afternoon of Aug. 2 at a home in the city.
Police Capt. Jerry Stanley said this week that the case involved child abuse and that investigators consider it a homicide. Few details are being released while police await confirmation of the cause of death from the county coroner’s office. The coroner’s office is waiting the results of additional tests.
