Woman arrested at UCLA after leaving a fatally injured toddler in Santa Monica apartment, police say
"Around noon Tuesday, UCLA police alerted Santa Monica police that DeGregg claimed "she had harmed her child and left her child inside an apartment," in their city, police said in a press release. Based on that report, officers headed to an apartment about four miles away at Santa Monica's The Charlie, a luxury apartment complex in the middle of the city, where the child was discovered with critical injuries."
"The woman, identified in booking records as 24-year-old Carmen Anita DeGregg, was taken into custody and booked into Santa Monica Jail, according to authorities. DeGregg's bail is set at $2 million. Paramedics rushed the child to the hospital, where the baby was pronounced dead. According to KTLA, the child was a 15-month-old toddler. Apartment complex residents told that DeGregg had moved in only a few months prior and that a woman had been heard talking in distress in the apartment earlier in the day."
