Two adults have been detained in Moreno Valley on suspicion of killing a little boy, bringing to light a disturbing case of child abuse.

When they arrived, they discovered a 10-year-old boy in critical condition, and paramedics quickly took him to a nearby hospital. According to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, the Special Victims Unit took up the investigation after the deputies’ initial observations raised concerns of abuse and neglect. The Central Homicide Unit became involved as the boy’s condition tragically deteriorated and he was eventually declared dead.

According to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, the suspects, Alejandra Marin, 51, and Juan Sanchez Moreno, 59, both of Moreno Valley, are now being charged with murder, torture, and child abuse.
