A beautiful 9-month-old girl was fatally shot by her father who would not return her after his visitation with her.

The family reported that Charles Evans, 24n was suppose to have her for a couple of hours on Memorial Day. When family came to pick up the child, he refused to let them take her.

Cries for help were ignored by the state just weeks before the child was murdered.

A supervisor for the state health department's Child Protective Services agency was put on administrative leave after the girl's death.

An autopsy showed the extent of the abuse on the baby's body.

"Fractured skull, broken ribs. Yeah, she was abused," said Asia Nelson, Kinsley's grandmother. "Trauma to the head, she got punctured with something in her knee."

“Had you lifted her shirt you would've saw she had bruises, a puncture wound. Those are things that DPD missed and CPS would've caught if they actually came out,” said Juanita Straughter, Kinsley's aunt.

For weeks during that time, Nelson said they did everything they could to regain custody of her. The family called Detroit police, who did a welfare check and said the baby was fine. They begged the state to listen to their concerns regarding her well-being, but no one listened.

In addition to reaching out to CPS several times, the family petitioned the courts to get Kinsley back. They even went to the Michigan Department of Corrections to report Evans for a potential probation violation. Unfortunately, their efforts were unsuccessful.

"Had you lifted her shirt you would've saw she had bruises, a puncture wound. Those are things that DPD missed and CPS would've caught if they actually came out," said Juanita Straughter, Kinsley's aunt.

After the incident initially took place, a supervisor within CPS was placed on administrative leave because of their handling of this case.
