Prosecutors allege<\/a> Tilly Servin was killed by her father, 40-year-old Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz Jr., and her stepmother, 34-year-old Kelly Mu\u00f1oz. They say the Long Beach couple repeatedly abused Tilly, breaking \u201cmultiple bones,\u201d ultimately leading to her death.<\/p>\nBoth Alfredo and Kelly Mu\u00f1oz have been charged with murder, torture and child abuse causing death. If convicted, they could each face 25 years to life in prison.<\/p>\n
Court records show that they both have a prior conviction for felony child abuse dating back to November 2021.<\/p>\n
That alleged offense involved a three-year-old girl, according to court documents. As part of the investigation, authorities said they also found methamphetamine and an \u201copen pill bottle containing pills accessible to children\u201d in Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
He and Kelly Mu\u00f1oz both accepted a plea agreement offered by the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office, according to a court transcript from the Dec. 14, 2021, hearing.<\/p>\n
After pleading no contest, Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz was sentenced to four years in prison, and Kelly Mu\u00f1oz was sentenced to 90 days in prison and five years of formal probation. They were also ordered to complete 52 parenting classes.<\/p>\n
Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz completed his sentence in April 2023, according to a prison system spokesperson. And by November that year, he\u2019d finished a drug and alcohol program, he\u2019d been ordered to take.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Mu\u00f1oz has gained insight into the effects that substances have had on his life and has taken responsibility for the poor choices he has made while actively in his addiction,\u201d a counselor who worked with him wrote in a letter to the court.<\/p>\n
Tilly was born on Sept. 29, 2024. Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz and her mother, Alexis Servin, shared custody until he sought sole parental rights, records show. On June 9 this year, a judge sided with him.<\/p>\n
The reasons for that decision are not entirely clear. The Long Beach Post is seeking relevant records that are confidential until a child has died as a result of abuse or neglect.<\/p>\n
Authorities allege the Mu\u00f1ozs\u2019 abuse of Tilly began less than a month after the custody decision and continued until Nov. 7, when she was brought to a local hospital with signs of trauma. She died three days later.<\/p>\n
Guerrero, Tilly\u2019s grandmother, said that she didn\u2019t know about Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s past child abuse conviction until now.<\/p>\n
During their interactions, he appeared \u201ckind,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Despite having sole custody, he had promised to bring Tilly over for weekend visits and barbecues, Guerrero said.<\/p>\n
He was supposed to bring Tilly by for Easter, she said, but never showed and stopped answering calls or texts. Guerrero still has the Easter basket she made for her granddaughter.<\/p>\n
Guerrero and her daughter, Alexis, hadn\u2019t seen Tilly since April, she said, adding that they were \u201cshocked\u201d by the news of her death.<\/p>\n
As part of the custody decision, the court ordered that Tilly\u2019s mother was allowed supervised visitation just once per year for one hour on Mother\u2019s Day in May.<\/p>\n
After that decision, Guerrero said she had planned to go to court in January to push for more visitation rights.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I would have done it sooner,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
