Police Probe Death of 3-Year-Old Girl
Detectives are investigating whether the parents of a 3-year-old girl who died late Friday caused her injuries, police said.
The parents said the girl fell about 6:15 p.m. at their home in the 7800 block of S. Western Avenue in South Los Angeles, said LAPD Sgt. Peter Casey.
However, Casey said there was “a lot of trauma to the baby” that did not appear to have been caused by a fall. The girl died at 8 p.m. after being taken to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, he said.
The girl’s brother was placed in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services, Casey said.
