The mother of the 1-year-old Bronx boy who died in December after having ingested heroin and fentanyl was arrested for murder.
Daira Santana-Gonzales, 23, was arrested Friday on a charge of murder in the second degree.
Authorities say 1-year-old Darwin Gonzalez-Santana was found unconscious in a cab outside 1880 University Place in the Bronx on Dec. 27, 2018.
CPR was administered and the boy was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The boy had no obvious signs of trauma. In March, police deemed his death a homicide after the medical examiner found traces of the narcotics in the boy's system.
Police say large quantities of heroin, cocaine and fentanyl were found in the child's home.
