Yuma woman sentenced in connection to the death of 2-year-old son

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma woman charged with murdering her own son was sentenced Wednesday in court.

21-year-old Angelina Vasquez has been sentenced to 24 years in prison. This was the maximum she could've received based on the plea agreement.

It was an emotional day in court as Vasquez learned how long she will spend behind bars for the death of her son, 2-year-old Kano Aguerro, known by the community as Baby Kano.

Vasquez was originally charged with first-degree murder, but in April she took a plea agreement, pleading guilty to child abuse resulting in death.

Baby Kano was reported missing last year, before his remains were later found at a home in Yuma.

As for Vasquez' boyfriend, 24-year-old Miguel Garcia, he pleaded guilty to one count of child abuse involving domestic violence.

In exchange for the plea, charges of first-degree murder and concealment of a body were dismissed.
