On July 30, 2024, a frantic 911 call from Madison Heights, Michigan, reported that six-year-old Giovanni "Chulo" Jennings had stopped breathing. When first responders arrived, they found Chulo unresponsive with severe physical trauma, indicating a pattern of abuse. Despite efforts to save him, Chulo succumbed to his injuries less than 24 hours later. The autopsy revealed a history of confinement, starvation, and brutal beatings. Initially, Chulo's mother, Elena Rose Jennings, claimed she left him with his biological father. However, it was soon discovered that Chulo's father had a solid alibi. The investigation then turned to Elena and her boyfriend, Daniel Giacchina. The truth emerged that Daniel had been left in charge of Chulo and his siblings and had violently assaulted Chulo days before his death. Text messages between Elena and Daniel revealed horrifying details of the abuse, including confining Chulo in a makeshift pen and laughing about the mistreatment. Both Elena and Daniel have been arrested and face charges of first-degree murder and child abuse, with the potential for life imprisonment. Join us as we get into the disturbing details of this case.
