A 7-year-old boy was found dead in a freezer in Lynwood on Tuesday night, and his parents and grandmother have been arrested in connection with the killing, law enforcement sources told The Times.
The boy’s body was stuffed into a freezer, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the case. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about a dead child at an apartment in the 3100 block of Euclid Avenue in Lynwood around 8:30 p.m., according to a news release. Deputies found the dead boy, whose name has not been released, shortly after arriving.
Destiny Harrison, 25, was arrested on suspicion of murdering her son, according to the Sheriff’s Department. The boy’s father, Daniel Monzon, 25, and grandmother, Ana Zarceno-Carcamo, 46, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
A spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department said it was unclear when the child was killed or how he died. The victim’s siblings — who are 16, 13 and 9 months old — were taken into protective custody by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.
