At approximately 3:05 pm on Monday May 10th officers were dispatched to the 6400 block of Weber for an unconscious infant.

When the officers arrived, they located a 1-year-old child who was not responsive. Officers attempted to provide life-saving measures before medics arrived and transported the child to a local hospital, where she later passed from her injuries.
