Tiny Aniyah Noel Sagen weighed only 1000 grams and was only 14 inches long when her 20-year-old mother developed a serious complication shortly after she was allegedly shoved and fell during a confrontation with an ex-boyfriend. She was 26 weeks into her pregnancy at the time.

A memorial service for Aniyah Noel will be held Friday afternoon in the River Park Chapel at Macken funeral home in Rochester beginning at 2 PM. A visitation is scheduled one hour before the service in the chapel.

The young man allegedly responsible for the baby’s death, 20-year-old Chaz Moore, was charged with felony assault following his arrest last Thursday. A first-degree manslaughter charge was added to the criminal complaint against the Rochester man today.
