Police News - New Car

Geneva Police and the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force are investigating the death of a 10-week-old infant Sept. 22.

Just before 5 a.m., Geneva police officers and paramedics responded to a parking lot in the 1100 block of East State Street (Route 38) for a report of the infant boy not breathing. Bria of Geneva Health Services staff called 911 after a woman had brought the boy inside the facility looking for medical assistance.
