Sentenced: Parents Of Toddler Who Died In Richmond With Cocaine In System To Stand Trial For Murder

[Sugar Cookie]

Two Spotsylvania County parents will head to trial in the spring of 2025 after their 2-year-old son died in a Richmond hospital with a “significant amount” of cocaine in his system.

Cinceir Croxton, Jr., or “CJ,” was two years old when he died at the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) pediatric hospital in Dec. 2023. He was flown there from a Spotsylvania motel after he was exposed to a “significant amount” of cocaine, according to authorities.

CJ’s parents — 24-year-old Cinceir Croxton, Sr. and 22-year-old Kayleighya Coleman — were not at the hospital when he died. While they did go up to the hospital initially, they reportedly left and returned to the hotel prior to CJ’s death.

Initially, Croxton and Coleman were charged with child neglect, child endangerment and cruelty. Since then, in August, a grand jury in Spotsylvania County decided that the two would be charged with CJ’s murder.

[the cat did it]

WTF is up with his hair? A coke fueled night makes what already looks like shit look even shittier. They went back to the motel while their son died to get rid of the evidence-by snorting as much as they could-but not enough, they are still alive....

Spotsylvania mother, 23-year-old Kahleighya Coleman, will spend 15 years in prison for the death of her 2-year-old son after being sentenced on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

Cinceir Croxton Jr., or CJ, died on Dec. 7, 2023. In August 2024, both of his parents were charged with his death.

Coleman accepted a plea deal in March. She was originally charged with second-degree murder, child abuse, child endangerment, possession of drugs with the intent to sell and possession of a firearm while in possession of drugs. The deal dropped the child endangerment and the possession of a firearm charges, and capped her sentence at 15 years.

On Dec. 6, 2023, CJ was declared brain dead. He passed away the next day and became an organ donor. He was given an Honor Walk for his donation with neither parent by his side.

The hospital contacted law enforcement and the Department of Social Services (DSS) after CJ tested positive for having narcotics in his system.

During the sentencing hearing, two witnesses from the Spotsylvania Sheriffs Office recalled finding cocaine residue throughout the motel room, three unsecured guns — two in the room and one in their car — and several snakes in a Pack ‘n Play.

Authorities recovered 70 grams of cocaine and $4,000 in cash, leading authorities to believe they were selling the drugs.

Through tears, Coleman read a letter to CJ before being sentenced. She said, “I think about you constantly” and wished she could do things differently.

Before sentencing her, the judge said CJ’s death was an “inevitable consequence of [Coleman’s] disregard.”

25-year-old Cinceir Croxton, will spend 20 years in prison for the death of his 2-year-old son who died with cocaine in his system.

Cinceir Croxton Jr., or CJ, died on Dec. 7, 2023. In August of 2024, both of his parents were charged with his death.

On Monday, March 23, Judge William Glover honored the plea deal and sentenced Croxton to 40 years for second-degree murder with 20 years suspended, five years for child abuse with all five years suspended, and 40 years for possession with then intent to sell with all 40 years suspended.

Bertha Thompson, Croxton’s mother and CJ’s grandmother, testified that Croxton is “a good person, he just made a bad mistake.”

“I know they love CJ,” she said about Coleman and Croxton. “I love my son and I’m gonna stand by him no matter what.”

Croxton told Judge Glover that he “loved [his] son dearly,” and that the Commonwealth’s Attorney got a lot wrong.

“None of these actions were accident,” Judge Glover told Croxton. “It was a series of choices you made.”

Judge Glover said CJ’s living circumstances “inevitably” killed him.
