Veronica Aguilar is accused of child endangerment resulting in death, police said. Rampart Patrol officers were called to a home in the 2100 block of Santa Ynez Street around 2:15 p.m. on Monday.
When officers arrived Jose Pinzon, Aguilar's husband, said that his wife told him that her 11-year-old son was dead. Pinzon lead the officers to the boy's body, which was wrapped in a blanket in a closet in the home, according to police.
Paramedics were called to the scene but it was too late to save the boy, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
An initial investigation revealed that the victim suffered from signs of malnutrition and physical abuse, according to police. Officials believe the boy had been dead for a few hours before police arrived.
The cause of death is unknown pending results from the Coroner's office.
Aguilar has at least three other children, ages 14, 16 and 18, who were not at the home but were located and contacted by police, Melendez said. They were taken to a police station, and the minors were released to DCFS, he said.
An autopsy on the boy’s body was expected to take place Wednesday, he said.
The child had not attended classes in the Los Angeles Unified School District since 2012 and was thought to have possibly been in Mexico for some time, Melendez said. It was unclear whether the boy attended school in another district.
