The Austin Police Department has arrested a 31-year-old woman following the death of a 3-month-old infant. According to an APD media release, APD officers, the Austin Fire Department, and Austin/Travis County Emergency Services responded to the Revl Apartments at 5629 North Lamar Boulevard for a report of a three-month-old infant who was not breathing.
Emergency services reached the scene and immediately provided life-saving aid before the infant was transported to an area hospital. APD says the infant passed away on March 15, 2024. During the investigation, detectives say they found evidence concerning the infant’s twin sister having non-accidental injuries. Child Abuse Detectives arrested and charged Brittney Alisha Bailey for Injury to a Child for the injuries sustained by the surviving twin sister.
