MOORHEAD (KFGO) โ Around two dozen people took part in a march Tuesday to bring awareness and justice to the case of a 3-year-old boy who died under suspicious circumstances in Moorhead 90 days ago.
Eastyn Deronjic was found not breathing at an apartment on Belsley Boulevard and died at a Fargo hospital in late March.
Moorhead police said Deronjic and a sibling had been staying at the apartment for some time and were being cared for by an acquaintance of his parents at the time of his death. The sibling was placed with Clay County Social Services.
Deronjicโs uncle and godfather Katterius Reams says they made the three-mile walk through the city because they want to know what happened. Prior to the march, Reams said he knows investigators are working, but he wants them to work harder.
Several members of Deronjicโs family met with police officers to hear an update on the case.
Reams says they accomplished their goal of talking with the police, even though they didnโt get the answers they were looking for.
โThey just told us to be patient. We are,โ Reams says. โWe donโt blame Moorhead Police for anything. We know that theyโre helping us and they stay in contact with us, but we wanted to make sure that they still hear my nephewโs voice.โ
Police say there isnโt anything new to report as they wait on autopsy results from the Ramsey County Medical Examiner.
