Justice may have finally caught up to a 58-year-old Chicago woman now charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly leaving narcotics within reach of a toddler in her apartment back in March.

Just before his second birthday the little boy died of a fatal dose of a drug cocktail in an East Garfield Park apartment, but police were able to arrest Michelle Gandy only recently on a sidewalk outside the Daley Center.

During a detention hearing, prosecutors accused Gandy of leaving a bag of narcotics within reach of X’zayvion Walton on the evening of March 24.

The child placed the pills in his mouth, causing his death, CWB Chicago reported Tuesday per the prosecution’s court presentation.

Details of the charges and court proceedings were not reported publicly until Tuesday.

According to CWB:

Shortly before 10 p.m., Chicago police officers and Chicago Fire Department paramedics responded to a 911 call at an apartment in the 3100 block of West Fifth Avenue, where they found X’zayvion unresponsive. Paramedics took him to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office determined that X’zayvion died from a combined overdose of fentanyl, medetomidine, dexmedetomidine, and what the office described as “probable heroin.” Medetomidine and dexmedetomidine are sedatives used in medical settings. In the United States, medetomidine is approved only for veterinary use.

Prosecutors also alleged Gandy destroyed evidence and lied about what happened, which hindered the investigation for weeks.

Gandy is charged with “involuntary manslaughter of a family member” and child endangerment causing death, according to the outlet.

Cook County Circuit Judge James Murphy III ordered Gandy jailed, citing her “extensive criminal history,” which includes five felony convictions and 19 misdemeanor convictions.

It apparently was not revealed in court or reported by news outlets the nature of the toddler’s relationship to the accused and why he was in her apartment.
