Family members couldn’t reach the boy’s mother for days before his body was found.
When police arrived inside the home they located Reid’s body in a back bedroom. The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the child died from multiple stab wounds and blunt force trauma injuries.
Muhammed was not at the home when police arrived. She was eventually located by the Inkster Police Department with the help of the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team.
She was found and taken into custody the same day police discovered the body. Muhammed will be arraigned by video in 34th District Court in Romulus at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
