A prison sentence was handed down to a Flint woman on Monday who killed her toddler in Pontiac last year.

At a hearing in Oakland County Circuit Court, Judge Daniel O’Brien sentenced Latonya Thomas to 15-60 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections for the second-degree homicide and first-degree child abuse in connection with the April 25, 2024 death of her 3-year-old son, Zaveion Thomas.
