SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Editor's Note: The video attached is from Monday, July 22, before the victim died.
A mother suspected of assaulting her five-month-old child has been arrested. The Spokane County Sheriff's Office is now reporting that the child has died due to injuries allegedly caused by his mother.
According to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to reports of a baby who was asleep and possibly died at an apartment on East Mansfield Avenue off North Argonne Road (12800-block of East Mansfield Avenue) Sunday evening.
