KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Leavenworth woman pleaded no contest and was found guilty Wednesday in connection with her 3-year-old son's death in March 2025.
Briana Rene Michelle Davis, 30, entered no contest pleas to abandonment of a child, aggravated battery and endangering a child.
Davis left her child "in the care of another person while knowing the child could be harmed," a press release from Leavenworth County Prosecutor Todd Thompson stated.
“A parent's first obligation should always be to protect their child,” Thompson said. “Thanks to the Leavenworth police for all their help in this case.”
Two other people have been charged in the case.
Sentencing for Davis is set for 11 a.m. on March 11 in Leavenworth County Court.
