Police found Reid in a bedroom of his home in a state of decomposition Wednesday. It’s unclear how long the boy had been deceased.
Relatives made the grisly discovery after performing a welfare check at Muhammed’s home after she had not been seen in several days. Muhammed was not at the home at the time but was apprehended Wednesday at an area hotel.
Medical examiners concluded that the boy died from multiple stab wounds and blunt force trauma.
One commenter on Facebook claimed to witness Muhammed and the boy at a local store at some point in the past:
Tiffany Marie Hensley via Facebook:
“Wow this is crazy i had seen this lady and lil dude at a store and she ain’t mentally fucking unstable f**k her she cussed that baby out so bad in the store for having a pissy diaper when he looked like he been pissy all dam day she paid for her s**t normal!!! She a piece of s**t man!!!!!”
Muhammed is due to appear in front of a judge on Monday.
