Child Dismembered, Killed Due To Nonstop Crying From Milk Pain For Being Lactose Intolerant; Body Parts Found In A Lagoon

Last year, officers have found body parts of a child at the Garfield Park Lagoon and authorities vowed to seek justice regarding the two-year-old boy's death. It has been revealed recently that an arrest has been made and that the boy was killed because he would not stop crying after he felt milk pain because he was lactose intolerant.

The boy was identified as two-year-old Kyrian Knox and the person caring for him during the summer of 2015 snapped at the toddler leading to the child's death. The dismembered remains of Knox were found on Sept. 5, 2015. The suspect in the child's death was identified as Kamel Harris, 41.

Harris was arrested on murder charges in the death of Knox on Tuesday afternoon. Investigators reportedly found blood from the vehicle of Harris and it matched the boy's DNA, Chicago Tribune reported.

Harris has been charged with first-degree murder, felony concealment of a homicidal death and a felony dismemberment of a human body. Officials first knew of the body parts floating in the lagoon when someone made a call to the Chicago police Marine Unit divers. Two feet, two hands and a head were found during the search, DNA Info reported.

Accordingly, Harris reported the two-year-old boy missing back in August 2015. The investigation on Harris was concluded just recently because the testing of the blood took several months before they could confirm that it belonged to Knox. It remained unclear, however, how Knox was killed.

The mother of Knox, Lanisha, 25, reportedly moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She went there with a high school friend who also has a two-year-old baby. Lanisha and her friend left their children in the care of Harris. Harris is the father of Lanisha's high school friend.

Meanwhile, the second baby, who has been under Harris' care, is said to have been found safe and uninjured. Harris, on the other hand, remains uncooperative with investigators.
