Arizona Child Protective Services had launched three investigations into allegations of abuse of Jacob Gibson between 2007 and 2010.

Last week he was taken to the hospital with extensive bruising throughout his body, marking from belt buckle, and suspected head injuries. The 6-year-old died from his injuries on Sunday.

The Phoenix Police Department are reviewing charges for 37-year-old Jennifer Paul, and 49-year-old Benny Gibson, who have been in custody since Tuesday in relation to the incident.

Last February, 49-year-old Berry Williams stole several cases of beer from west Phoenix Circle-K and jumped into a getaway car as a passenger. During the police chase that ensued, Williams switched places with the driver. After a freeway chase that clocked speeds up to 112 mph, Williams left exited Interstate 10 and ran a light at 19th Avenue and Baseline where he struck the car of 27-year-old Abel Abebe, an ASU student.

A Maricopa County Superior Court jury has just convicted Williams of murder.
