A woman accused of shaking her boyfriend's 11-month-old infant to death was arraigned in a Romulus district court today from inside Wayne County Jail, police and jail officials said.

According to Romulus Police Department, LaTonya Goodlow, 27, was charged with involuntary manslaughter and first-degree child abuse for recently killing the baby girl. Jail records list her charges as homicide, felony murder but officials acknowledged that could have been specified during the 34th District Court arraignment.
Goodlow is scheduled to stay at the jail until her Aug. 27th preliminary

A Romulus woman who pleaded guilty to killing her boyfriend’s 11-month-old daughter will be sentenced next month in Wayne County Circuit Court.

Under the plea agreement, LaTonya Goodlow, 28, will be sentenced June 4 to 20 to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder. Other charges will be dismissed.

Goodlow had faced life in prison without the possibility of parole when she was charged last year with first-degree murder. She pleaded guilty on Monday before Wayne County Circuit Judge Carole Youngblood.

“I’m just glad we’re at this point,â€￾ the child’s mother, LaToya (Toy) Lewis of Detroit, said today. “No amount of time would justify anything for us.â€￾

Goodlow was to go on trial for first-degree felony murder, involuntary manslaughter and first-degree child abuse in the death of 11-month-old Kalijah Arlboro, who was in her care. Kalijah sustained injuries Aug. 13 and survived briefly on life support before dying.

Goodlow told police that the death was an accident. She said the child fell off the couch and repeatedly fell onto an armrest as she tried to sit her up. The Washtenaw County medical examiner’s office concluded that Kalijah had died of traumatic head injuries.

As part of her guilty plea, Goodlow told the judge that she banged the child’s head three times.

Lewis said she would have liked for Goodlow to have spent the rest of her life in prison but she’s glad Goodlow has stopped denying her guilt.

“She’s admitted to what she’s done,â€￾ Lewis said. “I’m thankful for that.â€￾
