MI Mother Atiya Muhammed Arrested Murder In Fatal Stabbing Of Toddler In Inkster

WAYNE COUNTY, MI. (THECOUNT) — Atiya Nina Muhammed of Inkster, Michigan, has been identified as the mother facing multiple felony charges in the alleged fatal stabbing of her 3-year-old son, Zion Reid.

Prosecutors say, Muhammed, 26, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder, murder, first-degree child abuse and torture in the death of her toddler.

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:
