LAS VEGAS — An 18-year-old mother arrested after her baby was rushed to the hospital is charged with murder after the 2-month-old died.
The Nye County Sheriff’s Department said Bianca Razo-Pina is being held without bail.
Razo-Pina and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Efren Chavez, took the baby to Desert Springs Hospital Tuesday. Doctors said the child was in full cardiac arrest. A further examination revealed extensive brain injuries and bruises throughout her body.
The girl was in critical condition but died early Thursday morning. The couple were originally charged with child neglect. Police have not announced new charges against Chavez, saying only that Razo-Pina was responsible for the death. [Fox 5 News]
