Ronica Jones, a 27-year-old DeKalb County woman, has been charged with second-degree murder following the death of her 1-year-old daughter, who was found unresponsive in a bathtub. Initially arrested on November 7 for second-degree child cruelty after leaving her two children unsupervised, Jones's charges were upgraded after the girl died four days later in the hospital. Jones's family claims she intends to contest the charges, with her father providing a differing account of the incident.
