The East Point Police Department confirmed the identification of the body found at a local garbage collection site as the missing 2-year-old, J’Asiah Mitchell. The child’s father, 23-year-old Artavoius North, faces charges including murder and cruelty to children, following inconsistencies in his initial report of an armed robbery and kidnapping last month. North, who was last to see the child alive, later became a suspect in the death. The investigation escalated swiftly, with charges of making false statements and filing a false crime report being levied against North. The child’s body was discovered a week after he was reported missing.
