Three-year-old Nylo Lattimore was last seen in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his mother Nyteisha Lattimore in early December 2020. Neighbors reported hearing a struggle in the Walnut Hills apartment building on December 5, 2020. Nyteisha’s body was found on December 12, 2020, near the Purple People Bridge on the Ohio River; she had been stabbed to death.

Investigators believe Nylo was also killed. Authorities say Nyteisha likely was killed in her apartment around December 5, and that in the early hours of December 6 her boyfriend, Desean Brown, took Nylo to the Ohio River and threw him in while the child was still alive. Nylo’s empty stroller was recovered from the river near where Nyteisha’s body was found, and a blanket with Nyteisha’s body contained Nylo’s blood. Extensive searches of the Ohio River have not recovered Nylo’s remains, and his family continues to seek closure.

Anyone who knew Nylo or has information about his disappearance is asked to come forward.
