(KNX 1070) -- An Upland woman has been jailed in the death of her infant daughter and the injuries of her son, who was dropped from a second-floor landing.
Neighbors told police they saw 24-year-old Tierra Ortega drop the 18-month-old boy onto the concrete and when police arrived, she jumped, head first.
Ortega suffered facial injuries, and her son had a broken foot.
But when officers entered the family's apartment, they discovered a six-month-old girl, unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Ortega is charged with homicide, attempted homicide and child abuse resulting in death.
The father is said to be devastated.
The incident took place around 11:30 a.m. in the 600 block of N. Wedgewood Avenue, Blanco said. The apartment complex sits in a quiet cul de sac off 11th Street in Upland.
