PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Two men are in custody in connection with the death of a 2-year-old girl in South Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Family of Key’Monnie Bean says she loved dancing, her unicorn blanket, and playing with her big sister. She always gave hugs and kisses to her family.<\/p>\n
The toddler girl was killed last week.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video from the 2100 block of South Beechwood Street shows SWAT officers arresting a man inside a house on the block on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia police were called to the same home on December 8.<\/p>\n
Sources say Key’Monnie had been at the home and was transported to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
Sources say two 21-year-old men, one of whom was arrested at the home on Beechwood, are in custody and will be facing charges related to Key’Monnie’s death.<\/p>\n
The homicide unit is handling the case. The girl’s family says their hearts are heavy, adding that she was loved and will be missed.<\/p>\n
Police have not said at this point how the girl died, and while two men are in custody, they have not been formally charged.<\/p>\n
