Months after an infant died in her South Carolina home, her death was called a homicide and her mother has been accused of assault, authorities said.

On Tuesday, Aiken County Coroner Darryl Ables said his office is investigating the infant's death.

The 1-month-old girl died at her Rita Court home in Belvedere on Oct. 15, according to Ables.

While Ables said that a preliminary investigation determined Charlotte’s death was a homicide, the baby’s final cause of death is still under investigation.

The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office said Charlotte suffered several broken ribs and other injuries, WJBF reported.

The sheriff’s office said Jordan Fowler did cause “maliciously bodily harm to the minor child by forcibly squeezing and shaking the child,” WRDW reported. Jordan Fowler was identified as Charlotte’s mother in the obituary.

On Dec. 14, Jordan Fowler was arrested on a charge of unlawful neglect of child or helpless person,

A murder warrant said Fowler struck the child in the back of the head with a stainless-steel vacuum-insulated travel mug while she was frustrated by the infant’s constant crying.

An earlier warrant said Fowler shook and squeezed the child between Aug. 20 and Oct. 15, and the child suffered multiple rib fractures and other injuries, which were identified during an autopsy as being in various stages of healing.

An obituary said the child was born Aug. 20, 2023, and brought joy to everyone she encountered. Her grandfather called her a Kung Fu Master in waiting.

Fowler is listed as an inmate at the Aiken County detention center and has no bond.
