A Cook County State's Attorney's Office spokesperson said it has modified the attempted murder charge filed against 34-year-old Victoria Moreno into a charge of first-degree murder after her 3-year-old nephew Josiah Brown died of his injuries.
Moreno, who had previously been ordered held without bail following her arrest, was again denied bail during a second bond hearing Tuesday on the new charge.
When no one was looking, Moreno allowed Brown to climb under a chain barrier designed to keep people away from the water, Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rogers said during Moreno’s second bond hearing Tuesday. Moreno followed, and could allegedly be seen on video climbing over the chain, crouching behind the child and shoving him with both hands into the water.
“After she pushed him into the lake, she took zero action to do anything to help the child as he drowned and died,” McCord Rogers said during Tuesday’s hearing.When police arrived, Moreno allegedly told them she didn’t know the boy, and had just seen him trip and fall into the water.
