November 24, 2010
Tyreece Triplett, 19, pled no-contest to second-degree reckless homicide in the death of his daughter, Stella, which included multiple skull fractures and internal bleeding. Other charges in the homicide case, including obstructing an officer, and domestic abuse battery and disorderly conduct were dismissed but read in for consideration in sentencing. Sentencing is scheduled for October 20, 2011.
He admitted to investigators that he was alone with the child when she started crying and he shook her and threw her against a wall. At the time of the homicide, a no-contact order was in effect because of charges of domestic abuse battery. The order prohibited Tyreece Triplett from contact with his child’s mother or the residence where the homicide occurred.
The child’s mother has been charged with neglecting a child and obstructing an officer. According to the complaint, when officers first interviewed her, following her call to 911, she claimed that Tyreece Triplett had not been in the apartment and that she was home alone when the child fell off the couch.
