Day care provider faces murder charges in death of baby

Authorities say Kierra Harrison died of severe head trauma.

Doctors say the injuries were equal to falling head first from a two-story building onto concrete.

Police say Alicia Daneen Wegner faces a murder charge in connection with the infant's death.

Authorities say Wegner was the only adult at her home-based day care center on the city's southwest side when the infant was injured Monday.

The baby died Wednesday, 48 hours after Wegner reported to police that she found the infant unconscious.
