OHIO — U.S. Marshals have joined the search for two parents wanted in connection with the death of their 3-year-old son, authorities announced Tuesday.

Arrest warrants were issued May 9 for 42-year-old Demetres S. Givens and 37-year-old Jamie L. Thompson.

As of Tuesday morning, both remain at large. A reward is being offered for information leading to their arrest.
