A California mother has been arrested after her 9-year-old daughter was allegedly found dead inside their Westminster home, RadarOnline.com reported.
According to the Westminster Police Department, officers responded to a home around 12 p.m. on Nov. 24, after a concerned family member requested a welfare check, as Front Page Detectives reported.
Neighbors of the suspect called 911 for a welfare check after seeing water come out of his home, officials said.
Once at the residence, officers forced their way inside the home, where they found a 9-year-old girl dead with “obvious signs of trauma,” officials said.
Authorities said no one else was inside the home at the time and they believe it was an isolated incident.
