Autumn Duskin was a 4-month-old Black female who died after being brought unresponsive to Children’s of Alabama on March 9, 2023. Hospital staff pronounced her dead, and the circumstances of her arrival prompted Birmingham police to open an investigation. An initial examination and an autopsy by the Jefferson County Medical Examiner’s Office determined on March 10, 2023, that her death was a homicide caused by trauma.

Detectives presented their findings to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, which will decide whether to file charges. As of this writing there are no publicly identified suspects and no arrests have been announced. Autumn’s obituary described her as a sweet baby who was always smiling and who had lived with a foster family for three months.

If anyone has information about Autumn’s last hours at home or her care before March 9, please come forward to assist the investigation.
