The mother of a 6-year-old who was found unresponsive with multiple injuries in his Sandy home, and who died two days later, was charged Thursday with murder.
Sandy police initially investigated 31-year-old Reyna Elizabeth Flores-Rosales for child abuse after they found her son unresponsive in their home on Feb. 25. (Court documents first listed the child’s age as 7, but his age was 6.)
When the child never woke up and died at the hospital two days later, detectives shifted to build a murder case.
According to court documents, the 6-year-old died because of a blow to the right side of his head.
