Police prior to Monday afternoon had released no details about the incident and did not disclose the six-year-old boy's death, but Chief Assistant Eaton County Prosecutor Chris Anderson said police were called to the Travelodge by Wyndham in Delta Township on Jan. 12 and found the child injured.

Anderson said he did not know the cause of death but said the boy suffered physical injuries.

"I've not seen the autopsy report, but it was not natural," he said.

The victim was Kelemen's stepson, Anderson said.


The prosecutor's office identified the boy as Kyron Kelemen. It was not immediately clear when he died.

In a Monday afternoon news release, sheriff's officials acknowledged the investigation, saying deputies responded to a call involving a child who was not breathing and that the child died a short time later at a hospital.

They did not release the date of the incident.

“When a crime against a child is committed, it is committed against the community as a whole, and those responsible must be held accountable for their actions," sheriff's Captain Chris Kuhlman said in the release. "This case has impacted us all, and we will work tirelessly for Kyron.”

The boy’s biological mother Angelina Foghino is speaking out. She lost custody of Kyron while battling substance use disorder. She never thought her reunion with the boy would be his funeral.

“It’s been hard,” she says. “I haven’t seen my son for a while, and that was the last I’d seen him so.”

Law enforcement notified her of her son’s death.

“It’s been determined through the charges we have created that he was actually murdered by his stepmother: Elysa Ella-Ann Keleman,” says Eaton County Prosecutor Doug Lloyd, “who is not from the area, but was staying at the Travelodge when his death occurred.”

Foghino recalls detectives investigating the case sharing details.

“He was bruised from the head down,” she recalls law enforcement telling her. “He had a lacerated spleen. A lacerated liver. Internal bleeding.”

She alleges she’d raised concerns about suspected mistreatment of Kyron – possibly even abuse – but now the determination of abuse is up to the prosecutor to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors tell 6 News the investigation is ongoing and they are not ruling out any evidence they may uncover right up to when the trial begins.


“I’m very glad this stuff is coming out,” Foghino says. “It’s just very disturbing that it my son getting beat to death, for them to take action. This is not what I wish any parent to go through.

A woman charged with killing her stepson found out Monday that her case is moving forward.

Elysa Kelemen is accused of killing her 6-year-old stepson, Kyron Kelemen. Monday was the continuation of a preliminary examination that began in March. The judge ruled Monday that there was enough evidence to take the case to circuit court.

During today’s hearing at the Eaton County Courthouse an old friend of Elysa, Stephanie Taljonick, was brought to the stand. She shared comments that she said Elysa made about Kyron.

“She told me that he had a speech impediment, she couldn’t really understand him. She said she was sick of taking care of him and that he was stupid.”

The prosecution asked Taljonick if Elysa ever said whether or not she liked Kyron, and Taljonick gave her response.

“She said she did not like him,” Taljonick said.

Back in March, a detective on the case testified that Elysa had told him she kneed Kyron in the stomach. The defense argued there was no way to prove this incident was what caused the fatal injuries. But the judge decided that with Elysa’s admission to the detective and the medical examiner’s determination on the cause of death, there was enough evidence to move forward to circuit court. Adam Strong with the prosecution spoke on his side’s next steps.

“We’re going full steam ahead and I foresee this going to trial,” Strong said.

It's been a little over two years since 6-year-old Kyron Kelemen died from internal injuries in a Delta Township hotel room. On March 10, a jury concluded his stepmom murdered him.

Prosecutors contended Elysa Kelemen, 34, put her knee into the little boy's stomach because she was angry at her husband, lacerating Kyron's liver and pancreas, just as she told police she had done shortly after the tragedy.

"She spent the next two years telling everybody different stories and trying to cover it up," Deputy Chief Assistant Eaton County Prosecutor Adam Strong said during closing arguments on Tuesday, March 10.

Kelemen was on the witness stand for hours on Friday, March 6, and all of Monday, March 9.

She testified she tried to protect her husband early on because she was afraid of him. That's at least partly why she falsely confessed to putting her knee to the boy's stomach while police were interrogating her, she said.

"I just shut down and took the blame for myself doing it," she said during cross-examination by Strong.

Under questioning by Vincent, she said she had nowhere else to go.


"I didn’t want anyone else to be in trouble for it," she said. "I ended up just taking the blame."

Stepmom convicted of murder in death of boy, 6, in Delta Township hotel

Elysa Ella-Ann Kelemen was sentenced Thursday afternoon in connection with the murder of 6-year-old Kyron Kelemen on Jan. 12, 2024. She was convicted last month.

“Kyron Kelemen was senselessly murdered by someone who should have protected him. His death resulted from the convicted’s actions and from failures within a child welfare system that ignored clear dangers,” Eaton County Prosecutor Doug Lloyd said, per a press release. “Driven by jealousy and cruelty, the convicted stole the life of an innocent child. Kyron was the second child to die under her care — a tragedy that could have been prevented had Genesee County Child Protective Services and law enforcement acted.”
