The ex-boyfriend of Laken Snelling, the University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader arrested after her newborn was found inside a garbage bag tossed in a closet, provided a DNA sample to determine whether he was the child's father.

Izaiah Hall, 21, complied with the Lexington Police Department's ongoing investigation, his his father, Justin Smith, confirmed to the New York Post.

“Lexington police had him come down to the station to give a sample,” Smith said before declining to answer additional questions. “I don’t know anything on this and we don’t know if Izaiah is the father or not.”

Hall, who plays quarterback at Cumberland University, reportedly dated Snelling prior to her relationship with Connor Jordan. Jordan, who previously basketball at King University, Tusculum University and Lincoln Memorial University, was featured in numerous posts shared by Snelling on her social media accounts, with the two were seen holding hands and embracing in a field in a post shared on TikTok in June, as well as another post in which he kissed her on the cheek in April.

Snelling's last TikTok post shared on June 25 also included an emoji of a mother holding a baby, which she listed among her "goals," along with a wedding ring, cash, family and house. Snelling, who pleaded not guilty in court on Tuesday (September 2), was charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant.

The baby was found by Lexington Police officers "wrapped in a towel inside of a black trash bag," according to a police report obtained by WLWT. Snelling was confirmed to be the mother of the baby, having "admitted to giving birth," while being interviewed by officers.

The infant was pronounced dead at the scene. Nearly all abortions have been illegal in the state of Kentucky dating back to 2022.

Snelling, a senior, is listed on the University of Kentucky's athletics website as a member of the STUNT cheerleading team, having competed for the past three seasons, Lex18 reports.

“We can confirm that she has been a member of the STUNT team for the last three seasons. All other questions should be directed to the Lexington Police,” a university spokesperson told the news station.

Snelling was held at the Fayette County Detention Center, but ordered to remain in home incarceration and live with her parents after posting $100,000 in bail, according to court records. The Fayette County County Coroner's Office will determine the infant's cause of death. A preliminary hearing is scheduled to be held on September 26.
