Now, WJCL reports that the family has put the home Quinton lived in with his mother and grandparents up for sale. The 2,800-square-foot property is listed for $399,900. The official sellers are Quinton’s grandparents, Thomas and Billie Jo Howell.

During the investigation, protesters often gathered in front of the home, forcing police to enforce a “no loitering” policy at the house. At least five people who congregated outside the home were arrested.

It’s unclear where the child was killed. Simon remains in prison on murder charges.
