Police: OKC woman arrested for murder of child

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Oklahoma City police say a woman has been arrested in connection to the murder of a child.

Around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oklahoma City police were called to a disturbance in the 800 block of S.E. 50th St.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found 27-year-old Carina Romero in front of the home.

Investigators say she had blood on her and was holding a 2-year-old child. Romero told officers that someone had killed a child inside the home.

At the point, Romero took the 2-year-old into the home, closed the door, and refused to allow officers to come inside the house.

Due to the circumstances, officers forced entry into the home and got the 2-year-old out safely.

Sadly, police found a deceased child in the home.

Romero was taken into custody on a complaint of murder of a child.

Officers say the investigation is in its early stages, so they are still trying to determine exactly what led up to the crime.
