Indianapolis police have arrested a man and woman in connection with the death of their 8-year-old daughter who ingested fentanyl in 2024. Lee Cooksey, 33, and Brittany Warr, 35, were taken into custody by child abuse detectives and U.S. Marshals following the tragic incident. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a call about an unresponsive child at a residence in May 2024, where the young girl was pronounced dead after being transported to a hospital. The Marion County Coroner’s Office determined that she died from acute fentanyl intoxication. Over the following months, detectives gathered evidence leading to the issuance of warrants for the parents’ arrest. IMPD Chief Christopher Bailey described the incident as a “heartbreaking and preventable tragedy,” emphasizing the need for justice. Cooksey and Warr are currently in custody at the Marion County Jail and are scheduled to appear in court next week. The case highlights the importance of protecting children from dangerous substances and the efforts of law enforcement in seeking justice for the young victim.
