A prosecutor from the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s office argued Vasquez and her newborn child, born in July, tested positive for cocaine at the birth.

Vasquez’s initial arrest warrant outlined Vasquez’s history with the Department of Children and Family Services. DCFS validated allegations of physical child abuse when Bryan was three months old, an incident that left him with a traumatic brain injury.

A magistrate commissioner ordered Vasquez to stay away from her three living children following Bryan’s death.

Vasquez was later convicted of cruelty to a juvenile.
