Mark Edward Vaughn, a 21-year-old was arrested last Tuesday by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s detectives in connection with the death of a La Mirada girl.
Vaughn, a resident of  Corona, told Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau detectives that on January 20 he was babysitting his girlfriend’s 17-month-old daughter at her La Mirada home. Vaughn said that just after 10:00 AM that morning, the baby fell out of a chair and struck her head on the floor. Realizing the baby was injured, he dialed 9-1-1.
On Friday, January 20, at 10:22 pm, Norwalk Sheriff’s Station deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a “Baby Not Breathing” call at a home, located in the 15200 block of Valeda Drive, La Mirada, where they found the child in distress. She was transported via ambulance to an Orange County hospital and listed in death imminent condition.
The baby was pronounced dead at the hospital four days later, on Tuesday, January 24, 2012.
