A 27-year-old Cheyenne man is in custody awaiting charges related to the death of a 2-year-old boy whos body was found in a dumpster on Friday.

After receiving a report of the missing child around the 500 block of Desmet Drive around 1 p.m. on Friday, Cheyenne Police conducted an extensive search of the surrounding area for the boy after he had been reported missing and located him deceased in a nearby dumpster.

According to a release from Cheyenne Police, Wyatt Lamb was contacted at the residence around 6:15 Friday evening and was taken into police custody on an unrelated felony warrant for failure to appear and a misdemeanor warrant for a parole violation.

Cheyenne Police Detectives have now forwarded an affidavit of probable cause to the Laramie County District Attorney supporting additional charges of Aggravated Child Abuse and Murder.
