Infant's death investigated as a homicide

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Police are treating the death of a two-and-a-half week old girl last week as a homicide.

Officer Sam Clemens says Michael Daiton Schumm is charged with abuse or neglect of a minor and felony possession of marijuana.

Clemens says there was a 24 minute lapse from when he knew there was something wrong with the baby and he did not call 911.  He say given those circumstances, the case was sent to the state's attorney's office and they recommended the charges. 

Clemens says Schumm has not been arrested and may be hiding from authorities.
