Safarah Red, 33, is charged with manslaughter for killing her 11-month-old son in 2024 with a dose of fentanyl that she tried claiming came from an "unknown assailant" who attacked her and the child at a Seattle train station, according to court documents filed in King County Superior Court.

A probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime says Red called police around 2 a.m. and alleged that her son was not breathing following an attack that occurred three hours earlier.

"During the 911 call, Red told dispatchers that that assault had occurred at the Light Rail station," the affidavit recounts. "She explained she came home and made her son a bottle and then woke up on the ground."

Call notes made by the dispatcher say Red "sounded high or intoxicated" and she was claiming that her child "might have" been exposed to a substance that an "unknown male had forced in her mouth" during the alleged attack, per the affidavit.

"Dispatch provided instructions to Red for CPR due to the child no longer breathing but it appeared she was not listening to 911 and in too much of an elevated state to follow these directions," the affidavit says. "She just continued to say, 'I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!'"

Police officers showed up to Red's residence but she allegedly refused to come to the door. The officers were forced to break into the apartment, with officers finding Red inside "crying uncontrollably" and yelling, "I'm sorry" to herself.

Red's son was already dead when authorities arrived and "cold to the touch" on a mattress on the floor, the affidavit says.

"Interestingly, the apartment surveillance video shows the defendant with the victim entering the complex after the supposed attack and going to the mail room where she appeared to be dancing and not in a state of distress, counter to her version of events," the summary alleges.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Red was captured on surveillance video pushing a stroller with her son in it while "singing and dancing." Police reviewed footage from the light rail station during the times Red said the alleged attack happened and were unable to find her on camera, per the affidavit.
