MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee County medical examiner has determined a 3-year-old boy found dead in Milwaukee was shot in the head.

The boy, Major P. Harris, and his mother, 25-year-old Mallery Muenzenberger, had been missing since Oct. 9.

Muenzenberger's body was found in a Milwaukee backyard on Oct. 14. She had been shot to death. The suspect in her slaying, Jaheem Clark, killed himself on Sunday as police arrived at his residence.

The boy's body was discovered Thursday in a dumpster.
