The body of 21-month-old Royalty Marie Floyd was found at her grandmother's home in Shaw, Mississippi, stabbed and dead in a heated oven on Monday. The grandmother, 48-year-old Carolyn Jones, was charged on Tuesday with first-degree murder in the toddler's death. Royalty lived with Carolyn Jones while Veronica Jones, Royalty's mother, lived elsewhere.
Royalty's body was sent to the State Crime Lab where it will be determined if she died before or after she was placed into the heated oven.
