HOUSTON, Texas – A 21-year-old mother has been arrested following allegations that she killed her 2-year-old daughter.

On Friday, Jasmine Latson surrendered to authorities after being informed by her attorney, Kenneth Allen, that a warrant had been issued for her arrest.

She has since been charged with capital murder in connection with her daughter’s, Zayla Laitkep, death in April.

The charges were filed after an investigation conducted by detectives from the Wharton Police Department and the Texas Rangers.
