Homestead, Florida -- A community is still grappling with the harrowing saga of Nathan Allen and Arnelle Floyd.

These two 24-year-olds stand accused of an unimaginable atrocity: the murder and severe abuse of their innocent 6-month-old daughter, Nalani Adalee Allen.

The grim details of this case paint a haunting picture of relentless abuse, heart-wrenching neglect, and the tragic demise of a defenseless child. Homestead police officers made a gruesome discovery last weekend when they were called to an emergency room—a dead six-month-old baby with fractured ribs and internal lacerations. Detectives quickly identified her parents, who have a history of domestic violence, as the murderers.

Around 1 p.m. Sunday, two Homestead officers rushed to the pediatric emergency room at Baptist Health Homestead Hospital after infant Nalani Adalee Allen was pronounced dead despite doctors’ best efforts, according to an arrest report. When her parents, Arnelle Floyd and Nathan Allen, brought her into the emergency room, she was suffering from cardiac arrest. An x-ray revealed the child had “several fractured ribs in different stages of healing and multiple bruises throughout the victim’s torso, consistent with child neglect and/or child abuse.”

A later autopsy would confirm the blunt force injuries as well as “numerous fresh contusions, internal bleeding and large lacerations to internal organs....”

Tragically, Nalani was pronounced dead within an hour of her arrival at the hospital. Those who were meant to protect her had instead ended her brief, fragile life.

Floyd and Allen were arrested and charged with first-degree murder while committing aggravated child abuse on Wednesday. Days earlier, the couple voluntarily went to the Miami-Dade Police Department to answer questions. During the investigation, both parents contended Nalani never suffered any injuries from a fall or otherwise and did not know the cause of her death.

The morning of her death, Floyd told detectives she left Nalani sleeping in bed with Allen to go to a beauty appointment. A few hours later, Allen called and texted her that Nalani was not okay, the report read. Allen said he woke up, fed Nalani milk, and left her in bed. When he returned an hour later, he thought Nalani seemed “lethargic.” He called Floyd and then went to the hospital.

Officers executed a search warrant on their home and found fist-sized holes in the walls as well as in the refrigerator door. In the arrest report, police said the house was in disarray. The investigation also revealed there were numerous reports of domestic violence. Neighbors described the disputes to police as “violent,” with items and people being thrown into walls inside the home, the report read.

Nalani’s pediatrician told detectives that her last visit was on May 10 and she “did not show any signs of bruising or broken bones despite being underweight.”

The people of Homestead are left in shock and sorrow, struggling to comprehend the darkness that befell such an innocent soul.

The fight broke out at about 2:30 pm Friday near Hazelwood High School located at 11300 Dunn Road in Spanish Lake, Missouri.

Video of the incident circulated on social media showing 15 year old Maurnice DeClue bashing a teen's head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches and sending her dazed, to the ground. The victim only identified as "Kaylee" appeared to begin to have a seizure as groups of other teens brawled just feet away. Police found the girl suffering from a serious head injury near the intersection of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive, roughly a five-minute walk from the high school campus. The girl was transported to St. Louis Hospital where she remains in a medical-induced coma due to the traumatic head injuries she suffered, and is listed in critical condition.

Vera Clay, a spokesperson for the St. Louis County Police revealed that a 15-year-old teenager was arrested for assault charges on Saturday. The teenager is now being held by the St. Louis County Family Court for assault charges. When asked about the person involved in the fight, Clay said, “We don’t give out names of young people, so I can’t confirm the individual’s name.”

The Hazelwood School District posted a generalized statement on social media while deffering any direct responsibility to Maurnice, who school’s official website lists as having played for the volleyball team from 2023-2024, only offering condolences to the victims and families.

“It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt,” the statement reads. “Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children. The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need. We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children. Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community,” the district said.

Parents at the Hazelwood East Middle School are calling video of a recent brawl involving students disturbing. They claim the fights are disruptive, dangerous, and non-stop.

The Hazelwood East High School student body is 96.7% Black, 1.4% White, and 1% Hispanic. The school recieved a grade of C- overall. According to state test scores, 5% of the students are proficient  in math and only 21% in reading.

"We are firm in our commitment to create a nurturing, diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning environment for all HSD students and employees."

The district recently came under fire for disenrolling more than three dozen middle schoolers in late February and early March.

The school district’s public relations director, Jordyn Elston, told STLPR that the students were ejected because of 'expired residency information.'

Of the 40 students who received letters informing them of the district's decision, thirty-eight were re-enrolled within a week after providing updated information, the district said.

During the altercation parents can be heard standing by encouraging the brutal beating as well as not interjecting themselves before or rendering aide to the young girl as she lay on the pavement seizing from her severe head injury. Another witness said a mother who drove up after the incident put shirts under her head while waiting for law enforcement and medical personnel to arrive.
