ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — Jamarion Delancy was blind, developmentally disabled and needed braces to walk. Last week, the 5-year-old boy was beaten to death while his mother was away giving birth to her third child.
Detectives were so shaken by the crime that they've taken the unusual step to raise money for his funeral.
The St. Louis County Police Association has organized a fundraiser for the family of Jamarion Delancy. The mother's boyfriend is charged in the death and jailed in lieu of a quarter-million dollar bond.
