Mother arrested after infant dies in Inglewood
The mother of an infant, along with a man, have been arrested in connection with the death of the child in Inglewood.
Authorities arrived in the 500 block of North Marlborough Avenue at about 6:47 a.m. Wednesday after reports of an infant who was not breathing, said Inglewood Police Sgt. Francisco Ruiz.
The infant, whose age was not released, was taken to a hospital, but died there, Ruiz said.
An investigation, he said, “revealed possible child abuse” at the home and the 23-year-old mother and a 28-year-old man were taken into custody.
Their identities were not immediately released.
