Blanco’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Alvaro Andres Ramos-Cardenas, was arrested in July immediately following the baby’s death and also faces one count of child abuse.

Emergency crews were dispatched to a residence in the 300 block of W. Canada on July 14 after receiving reports that a child was not breathing. It was determined that the baby’s injuries were consistent with child abuse.

Blanco is currently at the Pima County Jail.
