SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A 4-year-old girl has died days after an alleged assault — apparently punched & choked more than a week ago.
Nahla Miller, 4, died Wednesday at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Her death stems from an April 13 incident at a Springfield Township home.
Calls to dispatchers paint a chaotic scene. On the phone seems to be a frantic mother, calling for help for her daughter who's unresponsive.
According to Springfield Township police, the woman on the phone, 25-year-old Tianna Robinson, was the cause of her daughter not breathing.
Police responded to the home on Hudepohl Lane on April 13 where Nahla Miller, 4, her mother & her mother's boyfriend, Rensley Washington, 25, live.
The call was for a 4-year-old girl not breathing.
That girl was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where she was hospitalized for more than a week.
Nahla Miller was pronounced dead on Wednesday morning. The Hamilton County Coroner lists her death as an apparent homicide.
Documents say Robinson punched the 4-year-old child, before choking her until she stopped breathing.
Washington was one of the child's caretakers & observed prolonged physical abuse resulting in serious harm to the 4-year-old child, in addition to malnutrition.
Robinson & Washington were arrested.
The girl's mother was initially charged with two counts of felony assault. The mother's boyfriend was charged with endangering children and obstructing justice.
Messages from Nahla's father said she loved Disney movies & her dog, Cookie. He says she didn't deserve to die the way she did. Robinson & Washington are likely to face additional charges in wake of the 4-year-old's death. Robinson remains jailed on a $1 million bond.
