At approximately 6:52 PM on February 10, 2026, Tacoma Police responded to the emergency department at Tacoma General Hospital for a report of an infant who had been brought in and was later pronounced deceased. Officers contacted medical staff and the individual who transported the infant to the hospital.

As is standard practice in cases involving the death of an infant, detectives with the Tacoma Police Department’s Investigation Bureau responded to conduct this as a death investigation. The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office took custody of the infant as part of their investigation.

On April 20, 2026, detectives were notified by the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office that the manner of death had been determined to be homicide.

The Tacoma Police Department has actively investigated this case since February. The determination of the manner of death does not change the investigative process, but formally classifies the case as a homicide investigation. This investigation remains ongoing, and no arrests have been made at this time.
