In the fall of 2021, a heart-wrenching story unfolded in Birmingham, Alabama, with the death of three-month-old Treymon Jenkins. The infant, a male, was found unresponsive in his bassinet on a Saturday morning in early November.
Emergency services were called to a residence on 8th Terrace North on November 6, 2021, where they discovered the baby not breathing. He was quickly transported to Children's of Alabama, but tragically, he was pronounced dead.
An subsequent autopsy revealed the cause of his death to be blunt force trauma to the head, a finding that immediately turned the case into a homicide investigation.
The focus of the investigation soon centered on the child's mother, 24-year-old Jasmine Hutcherson. Following questioning by Birmingham police detectives, Hutcherson was taken into custody. She was formally charged with capital murder in connection with her son's death. Due to the nature of the charge, she was booked into the Jefferson County Jail and held without bond. Publicly available information indicates she remained in custody under this charge as of May 2024, but further details regarding the resolution of her case, including a trial or conviction, have not been made public.
