Homicide suspect Jordan William Carter, 30.
Jordan William Carter, 30, who was the fiancé to the child’s mother during the death, was taken into custody Thursday on preliminary charges of 2
nd-degree murder after the Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled 3-and-a-half-year-old Cameron Gordon’s September death a homicide on Dec. 15.
Investigators say the child was in the care of Carter at the time of injury.
Duluth police were called to a home around 5:30 p.m. Sept. 4 on the 4700 block of E. Colorado Street for an unresponsive child, according to a news release.
The child’s injuries were so severe he was transported to Children’s Minnesota Hospital in Minneapolis where he was later pronounced dead Sept. 6, according to police.

Recent moderation in new virus cases continued Saturday, seemingly taking a bit of pressure off hospitals, which are reporting stable or declining COVID-19 patient numbers.

State takes Minnesotans tax refunds for debts owed to hospitals

The discovery of seven tumors on her liver forced Jean Hehn to make some tough financial choices: Pay her medical bill or pay rent. Pay her medical bill or buy groceries. Pay her medical bill or put gas in her car.
But the state of Minnesota took that choice away from Hehn when it started seizing her state income tax refund to pay an overdue bill with Regions Hospital.
The first time it happened, Hehn said she was shocked and then angry that the state had the power to act as a debt collector for private health care companies. When she told close friends about her experience, some confessed privately that it had happened to them as well.
