Nyteisha Lattimore and Nylo Lattimore
Man indicted in death of 3-year-old Nylo Lattimore and his mother

CINCINNATI — A 21-year-old man has now been indicted, accused in the death of 3-year-old Nylo Lattimore and his mother.
Nylo Lattimore is presumed dead, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said Wednesday.
The 3-year-old boy has been missing since Dec. 4, and investigators have been searching for him since his mother was found stabbed to death along Cincinnati’s riverfront.
The boy’s mother, Nyteisha Lattimore, 29, was stabbed inside of a Walnut Hills apartment on Dec. 5. Her body was found along the banks of the Ohio River near the Purple People Bridge on Dec. 12.
Deters said the woman’s killer purchased a body bag online, then brought her body to the river a week later.
Deters said Wednesday that Nylo Lattimore’s blood was found on a Paw Patrol blanket, recovered with Nyteisha Lattimore's body. The boy’s stroller was also found in the Ohio River.
Exhaustive search efforts for the young boy have turned up empty-handed, and the prosecutor says an investigation revealed he was killed by the same man who killed the boy’s mother.
"In all my years as a prosecutor, I have never seen such a cold-blooded act committed against an innocent woman and her 3-year-old baby," Deters said, announcing the indictment of 21-year-old Desean Brown.
Deters said he believes Brown threw Nylo Lattimore into the Ohio River when he dumped the body of his mother.
The 3-year-old boy’s body has not been recovered.
Brown now faces the death penalty. He has been charged with two counts of aggravated murder with a death penalty specification, one count of gross abuse of a corpse and one count of tampering with evidence.
“Throughout the United States today, there are prosecutors who have chosen to never seek the death penalty,” Deters said. “That’s not going to happen here as long as I am prosecutor for this county.”
