MOM CHARGED WITH MURDER IN CHILD’S DEATH JULY 2ND

 

Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has charged a 19-year-old woman with murder in connection with the beating death of her 2-and-a-half year old daughter a week and a half ago.

 

Tiffany Moreno (DOB: 07-30-85) is charged with first-degree murder (F1) and child abuse resulting in death (F2).

 

On Saturday, July 2, 2005 at about noon, a two-and-a-half year old girl was brought to Denver Health Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.  Denver police investigators later arrested the toddler’s mother, Tiffany Moreno in connection with her death. Moreno’s boyfriend, Joseph Trujillo (DOB: 06-26-80) was also arrested, but on unrelated charges.

 

The charges against Moreno allege that she beat her daughter on July 2, 2005 causing a fatal head injury. 

 

Moreno remains in custody in the Denver County Jail.  She is being held without bond.  She is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court, room 12T, July 13, 2005 at 9 a.m.
