His mother, J’Quanna Davis, 20, and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Tyreese Gray, had both been charged in connection with injuries Dmitiri had suffered.

Court documents allege that the boy had bleeding on his brain after Gray “grabbed him by the head and turned him toward the door; he then smacked him forcefully in the back of the head, causing him to fall into a vanity, striking his head.” Dmitri died on Sept. 11. Gray has now been charged with murder, according to court records. Davis has been charged with involuntar­y manslaught­er. Both have pleaded not guilty.

A Plain City man already serving a federal prison sentence received an additional 13-plus years after admitting to having child pornograph­y in prison.

Jordan T. Allen, 31, was serving a sentence of 8 years in the Fort Dix Federal Correction­al Institutio­n in New Jersey after being convicted in 2011 of having child pornograph­y when he and seven other inmates used contraband cellphones and micro SD cards, along with access to the internet, to possess and distribute child pornograph­y. Allen and the other inmates were arrested in April 2017 and again in February 2018 after an FBI investigat­ion.

Allen admitted to giving another inmate child pornograph­y and possessing a micro SD card with 577 images and 340 videos of sexual activity involving minors.

A federal judge sentenced Allen to a prison term of 160 months, or more than 13 years, plus 10 years of supervised release.
