AURORA – An Aurora mother is facing murder charges after her 6-month-old son died from injuries that occurred when she allegedly battered him last week. According to the Kane County State’s Attorney Office, 23-year-old Trivea S. Jones is charged with two counts of first degree murder after allegedly battering her 6 month old son, on June 21st, causing his death four days later. According to Aurora police, first responders were called at about 5 p.m. on June 21st to Jones’ home in the 2000 block of Fox Pointe Drive regarding an unconscious infant. They reportedly arrived to find the child not breathing. Authorities allegedly took the child to a nearby hospital, where doctors noted severe trauma, including a fractured skull. The child was on life support until doctors pronounced him dead on Tuesday.  Kane County prosecutors initially charged Jones with the offenses of aggravated battery to a child, Class X felony, and aggravated domestic battery, Class 2 felony. After the child died, prosecutors authorized the murder charges, dismissing the initial case.  Jones’ bond is set at $2 million. If convicted, Jones faces a sentence of between 20 and 60 years’ imprisonment in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
