Police say a 3-month-old Bronx girl is dead and her father is under arrest following an altercation with the child’s mother and grandmother.
Police said Tuesday that 20-year-old Kevin Palmer was arrested on assault charges after a physical confrontation with the 19-year-old mother of his child and her 43-year-old mother. Neither woman received major injuries.
Authorities are still working to determine why little Anetta Taylor-Palmer is dead and whether it had anything to do with the fight. No one has been charged in the baby’s death in the home in the Soundview section of the Bronx.
It wasn’t immediately clear Tuesday if Palmer had a lawyer. The family’s address has no listed phone number.
