Tragic Incident in Houston Leads to Charges Against Couple in Connection to Twin Infants’ Deaths
In a heartbreaking turn of events, charges have been filed against a man and woman in connection to the death of twin infants in Houston, Texas. Angelina Belinda Calderon and Fernando Vega, both 21 years old, are facing two counts each of injury to a child-serious bodily injury, according to court documents.
Details of the Incident
The incident took place in a home located in the 2100 block of Linden Creek Lane in Houston. Houston Police Department patrol officers responded to the residence after receiving reports of two infants, identified as Massail and Mirena Vega by relatives, who were found unresponsive.
The children’s father, Vega, discovered the twins in their crib, not breathing. Despite his efforts to perform CPR while on the phone with dispatch, the premature babies did not survive.
Investigation and Arrest
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the infants had multiple injuries, including bruises, contusions, and fractures. An autopsy confirmed that the children died from injuries caused by a blunt object.
Calderon and Vega were identified as suspects in the case and were subsequently arrested on Friday, April 19. Family members shared concerns about Vega’s abusive behavior towards Calderon, with previous incidents of unlawful restraint reported.
Family’s Response
Despite the shocking revelations, Calderon’s sister defended her as a loving mother, stating that she was at work when the tragedy occurred. However, other family members expressed doubts about Calderon’s role in the incident, acknowledging the neglect and lack of medical care the twins had received.
Calderon’s aunt emphasized the importance of accountability, noting the malnourishment and old injuries found on the infants. Police confirmed that some of the injuries were sustained weeks before their tragic deaths.
As the case unfolds, the community mourns the loss of the young twins and awaits justice for their untimely passing.
