PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) - A man and woman who told authorities they found their 4-year-old son motionless in a Southern California community pool have been charged with murder in the boy’s death.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office says 27-year-old Jose Cuatro and 25-year-old Ursula Juarez face additional charges including torture. They were arrested last week. It wasn’t known Monday if they have attorneys.
Sheriff’s officials say deputies were summoned to a community pool in Palmdale on July 5 after the parents said they found 4-year-old Noah motionless in the water. He died the next day at a hospital.
