Police say emergency personnel responded to the family home on Monday after getting a 911 call reporting that the little girl had stopped breathing.

The child was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Investigators have not disclosed a cause of death or said what led them to Tejada. It could not immediately be determined who her lawyer is.
