The parents of a 2-year-old whose body was found in a dumpster last month were indicted by a Clark County grand jury on Monday.

Diaja Smith, 23, and Jacoby Robinson, 24, were arrested after their child Jacoby Robinson Jr. was found dead in a dumpster near Lewis Avenue and 15th Street.

Smith and Robinson are facing charges of murder and child abuse.

According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, Smith originally reported her child missing.

Prosecutors said in court there were injuries found on nearly 100% of the child's body.
