Toddler’s death ruled a homicide

LINCOLN (AP) — Police now say someone killed a 23-month-old Lincoln boy.

Carter Vetter was pronounced dead last Tuesday night at a Lincoln hospital. Authorities say medical techs were unable to revive the boy at his Lincoln home.

Police say an autopsy showed the little boy didn’t die of natural causes.

On Monday, police spokeswoman Katie Flood said: “We’re calling it a homicide. We’re just trying to figure out at whose hands.”

No arrests have been reported. Police are interviewing his parents and others who spent time with the boy on the day he died.
