Four-month-old Harmoni Greene was found unresponsive on June 10, 2024, at a residence in the 1500 block of Olive Street in St. Louis, Missouri. Her mother told officers she returned home around 4 p.m. and was told by the child's father, 20-year-old Jordan Greene, that the baby was sleeping. When the mother later tried to wake the infant, the child was cold to the touch and paramedics were called. Harmoni was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed she had suffered a skull fracture, broken ribs, and internal injuries consistent with physical and sexual abuse. The Medical Examiner's Office determined the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head and torso, ruling the manner of death a homicide. Jordan Greene was charged with abuse of a child resulting in death and statutory sodomy and was held without bond at the St. Louis Justice Center.
Contexts/Conditions
Is there any mention of child drug ingestion or overdose?
Is there any mention of a drowning incident (either intentional or accidental)?
Is there any mention of a firearm incident?
Is there any mention of inappropriate supervision (e.g., child wandered off and drowned)?
Is there any mention of inflicted injury? (e.g. slapped, punched, kicked, choked)
Document 1 states the Medical Examiner determined that "Harmoni died from blunt force trauma to the head and torso" and the autopsy revealed "a skull fracture, broken ribs, and internal injuries." These findings clearly indicate inflicted physical injuries. Document 2 corroborates these details.
Is there any mention of malnutrition, starvation, or dehydration?
Is there any mention of medical neglect?
Is there any mention of a motor vehicle crash or incident?
Is there any mention of a murder-suicide incident?
Is there any mention of outdoor elements (including hot car deaths)?
Is there any mention of prenatal substance exposure (including fetal alcohol syndrome or neonatal abstinence syndrome)?
Is there any mention of sexual abuse?
Both documents explicitly reference sexual abuse. Document 1 states the autopsy revealed injuries "consistent with physical and sexual abuse" and that Jordan Greene was charged with "statutory sodomy." Document 2 similarly states the child suffered injuries "consistent with physical and sexual abuse" and lists the statutory sodomy charge.
Is there any specific mention of shaken baby or abusive head trauma?
While the specific terms "shaken baby syndrome" or "abusive head trauma" are not used, Document 1 states the child suffered "a skull fracture" and died from "blunt force trauma to the head and torso, classifying her death as a homicide." A skull fracture from inflicted blunt force trauma to the head of a 4-month-old infant, ruled a homicide, constitutes abusive head trauma in substance, though the clinical term is not explicitly employed.
Is there any mention of prolonged abuse or torture (including restraints, captivity)?
Is there any mention of an unsafe sleeping environment?
