MITCHELL, S.D. — No charges will be filed in connection with the recent death of an infant at a rural Mitchell in-home day care, authorities announced Thursday.

The announcement comes exactly one month since 3-month-old Brooklyn Howard died June 19.

South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley and Davison County State’s Attorney Pat Smith announced in a news release that “a young child in the daycare contributed to the death of the infant.” No further explanation was provided.

Authorities had previously deemed the circumstances surrounding the death to be “suspicious.”
