Andrez Martina, 53, is facing multiple charges including first-degree intentional homicide.

Smith was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital. He was stabilized and then moved to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, where he died later on Sunday.

She said she was woken up in the early hours of Sunday morning by the sound of Martina yelling at Smith. When Smith fled to the kitchen, Martina followed him and continued to strike him. The great-grandmother said she believed Martina beat the boy for around 90 minutes. The complaint noted that she is disabled, making it difficult for her to intervene.

Martina said he started striking Smith demanding he get the money. The boy retrieved the money from a cousin's bedroom, after which Martina continued striking the boy.
