Officers charged 26-year-old Atiya Nina Muhammed with first degree premeditated murder, felony murder, child abuse, and torture over the weekend.
Her son, little Zion Reid’s body was found stabbed and with multiple blunt force trauma injuries.
Cops went to the home in Inkster after worried relatives said they were trying to contact Muhammed.
At the time, the 26-year-old wasn’t at the residence but she was found by police later that day.
Muhammed’s sister, Shadiya, who is reported to have been at the scene when little Zion’s body was discovered, said: “There’s nothing that I can say that would explain away what she did. I don’t want people to think she was this evil person, but there’s no excuse for what she did,” according to WXYZ Detroit.
