Details here: Man Wanted In Baby's Death In Custody After Fleeing Authorities
ORIGINAL POST: Dec. 21, 2015 at 10:52 a.m.: Two people have been charged in the death of a 3-month-old baby boy in Harford County.
According to the sheriff's office, 29-year-old Keith D. Griffin and the child's biological mother 26-year-old Aja M. Terry, both of Edgewood, were charged Friday in the death of Aaman Perez.
They were charged with first-degree homicide, first-degree child abuse and first-degree assault.
On Dec. 16 around 9:40 a.m., deputies were called to a home in the 1800 block of Eloise Lane for a report of a child in cardiac arrest.
Reports indicated the child was choking.
Deputies began CPR on the unresponsive infant until medics arrived. The baby was then transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead around 10:25 a.m.
An autopsy showed the baby's cause of death was head trauma.
Two other children -- Aaman's twin brother and a 5-year-old boy -- were placed in the care of Child Protective Services.
Both Griffin and Terry fled the area before deputies could take them into custody.
Terry was arrested Sunday morning in Newark, Delaware. She's being held in Delaware waiting extradition.
Authorities continue to look for Griffin.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call Det. Yeagy at 443-409-3420.
