(Originally published on FOX6) MILWAUKEE, WI — On Thursday, Milwaukee police released the identity of a 7-year-old boy who was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries and later died. He is Trevion Winningham, whose death is being investigated as a homicide, FOX6 reports. Four people are in custody, none of them is the boy's mother.

According to officials, the boy was taken to the hospital Tuesday from a residence near 19th and National Avenue. The child was suffering from numerous injuries, and died a few hours later. The boy reportedly suffered malnutrition and bruising at the hands of two women. A 44-year-old woman arrested in this case was reportedly convicted in 2003 of child neglect for the death of a one-year-old Bryan Alston, who was in her care in her home on N. 50th.

"He was just a happy child, always has been," Trevion's mother, Candace Winningham, told FOX6.
