According to police, the baby suffered severe internal injuries and several broken bones. Police say it wasn?t the first time the baby was physically abused. They say she also had suffered broken bones, ribs and a broken collar bone in the past.

While residents came to leave flowers at the makeshift memorial, many said Heavon is in a better place now.
