The parents and grandmother of a 7-year-old boy found dead in a freezer at a Lynwood<\/a> apartment were charged Friday with murder and other crimes.<\/p>\n

The mother, 25-year-old Destiny Harrison; father Daniel Monzon, also 25; and grandmother, Ana Zarceno-Carcamo, 45, were charged with murder, torture and willful cruelty to a child, with an allegation of willful harm resulting in death. Monzon and Zarceno-Carcamo were also charged with being an accessory after the fact.<\/p>\n

Arraignment was expected Friday in Compton.<\/p>\n

The tragic discovery was made Tuesday night<\/a> when deputies responded to the apartment on Euclid Avenue, west of Peach Street, for a welfare check requested by an unidentified resident. Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics were called to the scene and pronounced the boy dead.<\/p>\n

Details about how the child died remain unclear.<\/p>\n

The boy’s mother, father and grandmother were detained at the apartment, where three additional children were found. Those children — ages 9, 13, and 16 months — were taken into protective custody by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services.<\/p>\n

Harrison, Monzon and Zarceno-Carcamo were all being held on $2 million bail.<\/p>\n
