Prosecutors seek death penalty for former Quincy resident accused of drowning son

A former Quincy resident accused in the 2017 drowning of her 8-year-old son appeared in custody with her attorney last week.

According to court documents, Aushena Warren and her attorney waived formal arraignment and a preliminary hearing.

Prosecutors filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty against Warren.

The former Quincy woman is charged with 1st-degree murder, abandonment of a corpse and 1st-degree assault.

The charges were filed in connection to the June 13, 2017 death of her son Audrick Warren, 8.

The boy was found unresponsive in the family's bathtub on North London Avenue in North Kansas City, Missouri.

About an hour before that, Kansas City police said the boy's mother, Aushena, was rescued after jumping from the Bond Bridge.

She was taken into police custody.

A jury trial has been set for September 2020.

KHQA interviewed family members who live in Quincy following the boy's death and his mother's arrest in June 2017.
