A Georgia mother has been charged with murder for dropping her three-month-old baby while being slapped by a woman outside a beauty store.

Karen Lashun Harrison, 26, has been charged with felony murder, first degree cruelty to children, second degree cruelty to children, simple battery and affray.

On July 19, she got into a fight with an unidentified woman outside a beauty store in Moultrie, Georgia, and dropped her three-month-old son in a concrete parking lot.

As they scrapped in the parking lot, several others ran over. A stranger picked up the baby boy, who they'd left lying on the ground, to fight.

Harrison waited a day to take him to the hospital then, when she did, police say she lied about how he'd become injured, claiming that he fell and was being looked after by a relative.

He later died. The results of his autopsy have not yet been released.

Now his mother and Carneata Clark, a 26-year-old family friend who also allegedly lied about how he'd hurt himself, have been charged.
