Yuma mother accused of killing her child pleads guilty

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - There are new developments in the case involving the death of a Yuma toddler.

21-year-old Angelina Vasquez has pleaded guilty in court Wednesday to child abuse resulting in death, and she is now facing a presumptive sentence of 17 years in prison, with a possible range of 10 to 24 years.

Her sentencing is scheduled for next month.

Meanwhile, her boyfriend, 24-year-old Miguel Garcia, had pleaded not guilty, and is set to go trial beginning June 9.

The toddler's father, Ethan Aguerro, was in court for the hearing, and became emotional as Vasquez's plea was entered.

The case stemmed from the death of two-year-old Kano Aguerro, who was reported missing last year before his remains were later found at a home in Yuma.
