LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - The parents and grandmother of a boy, believed to be 8 years old, whose body was discovered in a freezer in the family’s Lynwood apartment have been charged with murder and other counts, officials said.
What we know:
The suspects have been identified by Los Angeles County authorities as 25-year-old Destiny Harrison, 25-year-old Daniel Monzon, and 45-year-old Ana Zarceno-Carcamo. They are all being held in lieu of $2 million bail.
They have each been charged with murder, torture, and willful cruelty to a child, with an allegation of willful harm resulting in death. The father and grandmother were also charged with being accessories after the fact.
The backstory:
On Tuesday, Oct. 28, LA County deputies were called to an apartment in the 3100 block of Euclid Avenue, off State Street, to conduct a welfare check.
The request came from an unidentified resident who went to the sheriff’s station, authorities said. During the welfare check, the boy was found inside a freezer.
Paramedics with the LA County Fire Department were called to the home, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The boy’s parents and grandmother were detained before they were arrested and charged.
Three other children—ages 9, 13, and 16—were found at the home and were taken into protective custody by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.
