The mother of an infant girl who died in Story County this summer is now in an Iowa jail on a murder charge. Sheyenne Shore was booked into the jail Thursday. She was charged in June but was in custody in California on unrelated charges at that time.

Court documents say, on June 11, she brought the baby to the Story County Medical Center. A hospital employee says the baby was cold, stiff, and her pupils were dilated. They tried saving her life but couldn’t. A search warrant was carried out, which found baby clothes covered in blood.

The medical examiner’s office confirms the baby died of multiple injuries, including many to the head. The baby’s father, Juan Montalvo Jr., is also charged but has not been booked into the Story County Jail yet.
