Detroit Parents Charged in Death of Eight-Year-Old Son
Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Jamarr Hill, 37, and Kentoria Latricia Moss, 31, both of Detroit., in connection with the death of their eight-year-old son.
On November 8, 2024, at approximately 12:30 a.m., at a residence in the 600 block of Clairmont Avenue in Detroit, it is alleged that the defendants fatally assaulted their son. Medics were called to the scene and transported the child to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The Wayne County Medical Examiner determined that the cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma to the head. More complete facts and evidence will be placed on the record in court at the preliminary examination in the case.
Jamarr Hill has been charged with Felony Murder and First-Degree Child Abuse.* Kentoria Latricia Moss has been charged with Second-Degree Murder and Lying to a Peace Officer - Violent Crime Investigation.*
"The alleged facts in this case are chilling. The defendants in this case worked in tandem to beat and eventually kill this poor child - two adults against an eight-year-old. Little Adren had zero chance of surviving," said Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
They were arraigned this afternoon in 36th District Court. Defendant Hill was remanded to jail and Defendant Moss was given a $500,000 cash bond. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for November 26, 2024, at 8:30 a.m., and the Preliminary Examination is scheduled for December 2, 2024, at 8:45 a.m., before Judge Aliyah Sabree.

*The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
