Father charged in infant death case pleads not guilty to all charges

On Thursday morning in Canyon County Court, Brian Lemke pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of injury to a child and failure to report a death.

The charges stem from the death of Brian Lemke and Allysen Armenta’s 12-day-old infant on Dec. 16, 2025. At the time of the infant’s death, Child Protective Services was actively trying to locate the parents to perform a welfare check on the newborn.
