A Ventura County woman has been arrested on a murder charge following the death of her one-day-old boy.
Oxnard Police were called to the 2400 block of East Vineyard Avenue Sunday morning by the report of the birth of a child and health complications involving the mother.
First responders determined that the infant was dead and noticed what they considered to be a suspicious injury to the child. The mother was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit and the Major Crimes Unit were called in to investigate. It led them to initially arrest Marisol Flores of Oxnard on a child endangerment charge, which was later upgraded to a murder charge.
