An arrest report said Jayce was malnourished and bruised when police found his body in a home on Bethune Drive in July. They also found fist-sized holes in the bedroom wall, the report said.
The report said the officers found a “broken toilet lid and broken toilet seat in the bathroom located within this bedroom. The toilet lid and seat appeared to be clean, indicating this may be from a recent struggle or fight.”
