SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A Sioux Falls man wanted on a child abuse charge in connection with his daughter’s death is in custody.

Minnehaha County Jail officials say 20-year-old Michael Schumm turned himself in early Tuesday. He was being held on a $50,025 bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Schumm’s 2 1/2-week-old daughter died at a hospital Thursday. Police are investigating the death as a homicide and awaiting autopsy results.

Authorities last week issued a warrant for Schumm’s arrest on charges of abuse and neglect, and marijuana possession. Police say the charges stem from the 24 minutes that elapsed from when the infant started having breathing problems to the time a 911 call was made. They also allege they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the apartment.
