Ingram Jr., used their phones to play Call of Duty and watch YouTube before the 911 call on Oct. 14, records show. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cShe has always stuck through. She has always been my right hand. She\u2019s the one who takes care of the kids, her siblings. The smallest one is 2 years old,\u201d Tellez\u2019s mother, Jessica Navarro, told Broward Circuit Judge Edward H. Merrigan, Jr., on Friday in court. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">During her testimony, Navarro pleaded for her daughter\u2019s release from jail. Merrigan agreed to release her on a $15,000 bond. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Broward County Medical Examiner ruled the baby\u2019s cause of death to be complications of blunt head trauma and classified the manner of death as a homicide. The baby\u2019s reported injuries included bleeding in both eyes, retinal detachments, skull fractures, and hemorrhages along her spine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">A Broward County judge issued arrest warrants for Tellez and Ingram on July 27.

A judge denied Ingram bond on both charges. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Related reports<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOLLYWOOD, Fla. \u2014 A 20-year-old mother called 911 on Oct. 14 to report that her baby girl was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-390919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
