A Tacoma woman was charged with first and second-degree murder in the death of her 3-year-old son on Wednesday.
On Feb. 12 around 7:35 p.m. officers from the Tacoma Police Department responded to the suspect's apartment complex on Mason Avenue in Tacoma for a welfare check. A friend of the suspect called 911 saying the 3-year-old was unresponsive and cold to the touch, according to probable cause documents.
