Elaina Rose Jennings and her boyfriend Daniel John Giacchina are charged with murder and first-degree child abuse in connection with the death of 6-year-old Giovanni 'Chulo' Jennings. Prosecution say that Giovanni was 'badly injured' but that Jennings did not seek medical treatment for her son because it would reveal the abuse. Then on July 30, 2024 Madison Heights first responders attended to a call from Jennings saying her son was not breathing. When they arrived, police found the boy unresponsive with several injuries. He was taken to an area hospital, where he later passed away from his injuries on July 31, 2024. Evidence found that Chulo was routinely confined, beaten, and bound to the wall using a staple gun. Though badly injured he was never taken for medical treatment because his mother knew that a medical examination would reveal the abuse. Giacchina is also charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, felony firearm, possession of ammunition by a felon and lying to a peace officer. Jennings is also charged with lying to a peace officer.
