Police said family initially told officers Damari and his 16-year-old sister were taken to a party in Skokie by a man and woman on Tuesday, the outlet continued:
Damari’s sister reported that she had several drinks at the party and fell asleep, authorities said. When she awoke, the young boy and man were no longer at the residence, police were told. But the Lake County State’s Attorney’s office said the story was “completely false.”
After evidence contradicted the family’s story, investigators turned their focus to the boy’s home in North Chicago, according to a news release from the state’s attorney’s office. Information from witnesses led to the discovery of Damari’s body near an abandoned home in Gary, prosecutors stated.
In a news release shared on social media, the North Chicago Police Department said the Lake County, Indiana Coroner’s Office retained custody of the body, adding an autopsy would be performed soon:
