(KNSI) – A baby is dead and a woman is under arrest after police were called to an apartment in St. Cloud.

Officers were called to the 2900 Block of Maine Prairie Road to conduct a welfare check on a woman and her child around 6:30 on Sunday morning. During the welfare check, officers found a deceased three-month-old child.

Investigators arrested a 26-year-old woman from St. Cloud for allegedly causing the death of her child.

The infant was taken to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s office. The woman was taken to the Stearns County Jail on suspicion of 2nd Degree Murder.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension’s Forensic Crime Scene Team assisted with processing the crime scene. The death remains an active investigation and no other information is available at this time.

KNSI news doesn’t release the name of suspects until they’re formally charged.
