A 35-year-old Tennessee man, Kelsey Simmons, has been charged with homicide in the August 2022 death of his 2-month-old son, Sevyn Simmons, in Monee, Illinois.
Monee police responded to a call of an infant not breathing at a Petro Truck Stop in August 2022. Paramedics resuscitated the infant, who was then transported to Comer Children's Hospital. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office later determined that the baby suffered a traumatic head injury, leading to the homicide warrant against Simmons. The parents were reportedly staying overnight at the truck stop in a company truck before returning to Wisconsin. Simmons was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service in conjunction with the Helena, Montana Police Department earlier this week.
