Arizona Mother Is Facing Murder Charges For Death Of Children

A mother in Arizona has been arrested after her two young children were found dead in a vehicle on Monday night.

According to the Associated Press, the bodies of her 2-year-old boy and 10-month-old girl were discovered strapped into their car seats in Superior, about 60 miles east of Phoenix. Authorities discovered evidence of foul play, after which they took in the children’s mother, 20-year-old Brittany Velasquez, on suspicion of two counts of murder.

The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office’s investigators did not reveal what kind of evidence they found, and the names and causes of death of the two children have also not been revealed.

AP reports that authorities were called to the crime scene at Velasquez’s family home late Monday night, and several of the children’s relatives were inside when police arrived.

According to reports from  Heavy, Velasquez was cited for permitting an unauthorized minor to drive a vehicle back in 2017, but was only given a fine after pleading guilty. The also reported that Velasquez’s husband of two years, Christopher Miranda, died June 16, 2017.
