PIKE CO., Miss. (WLBT) - Two Pike County parents have been arrested and charged with negligent homicide and contempt of court in connection with the death of a two-month-old.

Following an investigation into the death of an infant, Shelby Granger and Cameron Sylve were taken into custody.

The two are currently being charged with contempt of court and negligent homicide, but additional charges are pending.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred on March 24.

No bond has been set at this time.

The baby was transported to Southwest Regional Medical Center and later was pronounced dead.
