A Brighton couple have been arrested as suspects in the January death of their toddler.
Alonzo Ray Montoya, 31, and Nicole Danielle Casias, 30, are being held on investigation of child abuse resulting in death — knowing and reckless, and distribution of fentanyl, according to the Brighton Police Department.
Officers and emergency responders were called to the couple’s home in early January when their 23-month-old child was unresponsive and not breathing, a Wednesday news release said. Officers and members of Brighton Fire Rescue and Platte Valley Ambulance performed medical measures at the scene but the child was pronounced dead.
On Tuesday, Brighton investigators presented a case to the Adams County District Attorney’s Office and the couple were arrested on Wednesday, police said. They are being held at the Adams County jail.
