A suspect was arrested in connection with a missing person/homicide investigation.

At around 1:10 p.m. on May 7, officers went to the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE for a welfare check of an infant, two-month-old Kyon Jones. There, according to court documents, officers found the child’s mother, who didn’t know where the child was.

“Based upon the suspicious nature of the missing person’s disappearance, the Homicide Branch assumed investigative responsibility of the case,” the press release states. “The missing person’s remains have not been located at this time, however, based upon the information gathered during the investigation a suspect was identified and charged accordingly. Additionally, it was determined that this offense is domestic in nature.”

Ladonia Boggs, 37, was arrested on May 17.
