A 3-month-old infant’s death in Compton Saturday prompted an investigation by homicide detectives.
Deputies responded at 8 a.m. to the 13000 block of South Harris Avenue to a call of a baby not breathing, said Deputy Grace Medrano of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau.
The infant was pronounced dead at the scene and sheriff’s homicide detectives were dispatched to investigate the fatality, she said.
“At this time, the situation is being classified as a death investigation,” Medrano said, adding that “the exact cause of death is
unknown” and will be determined by the coroner’s office.
No gender for the baby was specified.
