On March 11, at 8:15am, a 911 caller reported that a 2-year-old girl was not breathing at an apartment complex in the 100 block of 129th St S in Parkland.<\/p>\n
When deputies and firefighters arrived, they determined that the child was deceased.<\/p>\n
There were two adults on scene — the mother of the 2-year-old girl and the mother’s boyfriend, who is the father of two other children in the home. Detectives determined there was a protection order preventing contact between the man and his two children. The Department of Children, Youth & Families (DCYF) had also been investigating allegations of child abuse involving the boyfriend.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old man was arrested in connection to a previous child abuse incident that occurred in a neighboring city and was booked into the Pierce County Jail for assault of a child in the third degree.<\/p>\n
Detectives continued the death investigation by examining the scene and interviewing witnesses.<\/p>\n
On March 12, the Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy and confirmed the manner of death was homicide.<\/p>\n
On March 13, detectives interviewed the suspect and learned how the injuries occurred.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, detectives arrested the mother and the boyfriend for homicide by abuse and for murder. Both suspects are expected to be charged and arraigned today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
