Overview
- Police say 37-year-old Omayrilin Colon was arrested Jan. 29–30 on murder and first-degree cruelty to children charges and is held without bond after waiving a hearing.
- First responders found the 2–3-month-old unresponsive at a Perry Boulevard NW residence in mid-October, and he was later pronounced dead at a pediatric hospital.
- The Fulton County Medical Examiner reported the infant’s blood-alcohol concentration at 0.179 and determined the death was a homicide based on toxicology.
- An arrest affidavit alleges the baby’s bottle was intentionally filled with alcohol, while Colon told investigators she had only given her son formula.
- Medical officials concluded the alcohol was directly swallowed from the bottle; authorities have not disclosed a motive or the type of alcohol, and Georgia law allows life imprisonment or the death penalty for murder.
