Sentenced: Mom's Girlfriend Charged With Murder After 4MO Baby Taken Off Life Support

[Sugar Cookie]

The woman accused of catastrophically injuring her girlfriend’s 4-month-old child has now been charged with murder. Initially facing one count of child abuse, the 31-year-old was arraigned on additional charges after the child was taken off life support.

Renzi McCall, just 4 months old, was taken to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital on July 21 with a long list of apparent injuries.

On July 25, the young girl was taken off life support, leaving a family and community shattered.


It all happened at the apartment on West Franklin shared by Miller and her girlfriend.

Miller was watching Renzi while her biological mom was working. The baby’s mother got off around 1:40 a.m., immediately trying to call Miller.

“She did not answer. She texted her. All of her text messages went unanswered,” court documents obtained by FOX 17 say.

The baby’s mom and a co-worker showed up to the apartment but couldn’t get inside.

Eventually, the pair were able to peek through a bedroom window where they allegedly saw Miller asleep.

After screaming and banging on the window, Miller eventually woke up and let them inside.

“Both females walked into the room and observed the baby in a Pack ‘n Play. The baby was laying on her back, face up, on the top of a blanket. The baby had bruises all over her body. Most notably, a very severe injury to her right eye, orbital, and bruises to her stomach, and bruises to her hip,” court documents explain. “The baby was unresponsive at that time, so Amber McCall’s co-worker felt the baby’s stomach. The baby wasn’t breathing at that point, but two seconds later the baby started to breathe.”

911 was immediately called, and Renzi was taken to the hospital.

Investigators would soon get the chance to speak with her about what happened.

Miller allegedly told them that she had been sober for about three to four months on the night in question.

“So, after three or four months, she said for some reason, she doesn’t understand why, she decided to Door Dash a package of 10 mini shooters of Fireball,” a detective testified. “She is of average height and weight, but she admits that her tolerance is really low to alcohol because she hasn’t drank in four months.”

Miller claimed that the injuries were the result of a series of unfortunate accidents, including a fall from her bed, and a fall from a kitchen counter.


She also claimed that she accidentally slammed the baby's head into a “sharp edge” while walking out of the kitchen.

“She admits that she was the one in charge of the baby’s well-being at that time,” the documents say. “She said the entire night was very blurry.”

Such a pretty baby girl.

If you got mom's FB you can see how much this baby was loved,

The pictures of the family at the hospital with Renzi are heartbreaking.

 

[Busy Bee]

The injury photos are horrendous! That was a hateful act! Things you can’t unsee!. Photos like that should not exist.

The injury photos are horrendous! That was a hateful act! Things you can’t unsee!. Photos like that should not exist.

But they will be evidence in court so although you do not like them they need to exist to get the jury to fully see what happened to this child or any child who suffered abuse.

 

[Busy Bee]

I’m with you Sugar Cookie! I agree, those photos and other digital evidence are needed to convict Ms miller and insure she never does this again to another innocent baby! I may not like the photos but yes, they are needed. The other photos of little Renzi, she looks very nourished and cared for.

Something tells me this mom will never forgive herself for trusting Miller with her child.

I question if miller was really sober for four years...

iSugar Cookie, I agree with you! Photograpic and video / digital evidence are needed to convict Ms miller. I should have said “ in my own perfect little world , babies would not have these fatal injuries and have to be photographed” .

 

[Sugar Cookie]

Interestingly Miller does not have custody of her own children.

If the mom knew about this it should have raised some concerns.

Article and screenshot state she’s claiming 4 Months sober, not 4 years. Also lays doubt to claim as as prior liquor receipts found.

Savannah Marie Miller, 31, told police that the girl, Renzi McCall, suffered injuries in falls from a bed and kitchen counter and when she bumped her head on a sharp edge in a hallway while Miller held her.

“She was going to call 9-1-1 and get medical attention for the baby, but she knew she was intoxicated and probably would get in trouble, and after few moments she decided that the baby would be fine,” Reed City police Officer Roger Collins said in obtaining a warrant, according to a transcript obtained by MLive.

The girl was taken to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital where she later died.

I want this woman to get no mercy from a jury or a judge.

Maybe a partner of 4 months really should not be caring for your child especially if you were aware of their history of being a horrible parent and a recovering alcoholic.

Wait a minute, so the baby was 4 months old, the relationship was on going for 4 months, and abuser was 4 months fake sober? Interesting

A Hastings woman charged with murder and child abuse for beating her girlfriend’s infant daughter to death will spend at least four decades in prison for the murder.

Savannah Miller, 32, was watching her girlfriend’s daughter, 4-month-old Renzi McCall, in July 2024.

Court documents said Miller was intoxicated while watching Renzi and the night “was very blurry” for her.

Court documents detail that medical records from the emergency room at Reed City indicated Renzi had severe injuries.

Miller was sentenced in Osceola County Friday to 80 months to 10 years in prison for second-degree child abuse and 40 years to 80 years in prison for second-degree murder. She gets 335 days credit for time served on both charges, and both sentences will be served concurrently.


She pleaded no contest to the charges earlier this year. Two charges – for first-degree murder and first-degree child abuse – were dropped as part of the plea.

Miller read a written statement for the court.

“There's no amount of words that will ever begin to explain how much I hate myself for allowing my addiction to become, for allowing my life to become unmanageable because of my addiction. I will spend the rest of my life unable to forgive myself for the mistakes I've made and the pain and heartache I've caused to Amber and her family. It's been well over 300 days, and it still hasn't gotten easier for me to be able to cope with what I've done. I can only pray that one day, Amber and her family will find it in their hearts to forgive me one day,” she said. “There's not enough 'I'm sorrys' in the world that will bring her back. And if there was, I would say every one of them, from the bottom of my heart, I am sincerely, remorsefully sorry.”

Renzi! The child's name is Renzi!

You'd think if you were the least bit remorseful, you'd mention the child's name!
