METAIRIE, La. (WGNO) — A Metairie man and woman have been arrested in connection with the death investigation of a child.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office reported that deputies responded to a home in the 7200 block of Mistletoe Street around 8:50 p.m. on Saturday, where they found a young juvenile male “showing no signs of life.” He was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS.

JPSO investigators said they determined that 22-year-old Karla Patricia Padilla-Pavon and 49-year-old Havet Elith Vela-Espinoza allegedly left the juvenile, who reportedly required special care and continuous supervision, alone for several hours and delayed calling for help.
