The Nevada, Iowa, Public Safety Department announced two arrests related to the death of a 7-month old child.
Authorities requested arrests warrants for 35-year-old Juan Montalvo Jr. and 23-year-old Sheyenne Shore on Monday.
Montalvo Jr. and Shore are currently in custody in California for unrelated charges.
According to a department press release, they will be returned to Iowa to face first-degree murder and child endangerment charges.
"Sheyenne acknowledged that [the child] had hit her head on baby toys while doing tummy time but denied any other knowledge of how [the child] received other injuries," a criminal complaint says.
The state medical examiner determined the child had facial contusions and skeletal fractures among other injuries, those which "were consistent with non-accidental head injuries," court documents state.
