Accident – Death – Obituary News :
In Houston, Texas, Angelina Belinda Calderon and Fernando Vega, both 21 years old, are facing charges related to the tragic death of their 5-week-old twin infants back in October 2023. The couple appeared in court on Monday, where their attorneys requested a reduction in their current bond of $750,000 for each case.
Details of the Incident
The Houston Police Department responded to a home in the 2100 block of Linden Creek Lane after receiving a report of two infants, identified as Massail and Mirena Vega, found unresponsive. The children’s father, Vega, discovered them in their crib, not breathing. Despite attempts to perform CPR, the premature twins did not survive.
Vega recounted that the twins had been fussy throughout the night, and he placed them in a bassinet where they eventually fell asleep. Calderon, the children’s mother, stated that she saw the babies the following day but did not disturb them as she was heading to work.
Autopsy Results and Further Investigation
Tragically, the infants were found on the sofa with discolored skin, multiple bruises, and contusions. One of the babies had sustained multiple fractures. An autopsy revealed that the cause of death was multiple injuries inflicted by a blunt object.
Charging documents indicated that the twins had not received medical check-ups since leaving the hospital, and Calderon admitted that they had been unwell but had not sought medical attention.
Legal Proceedings and Family Statements
Calderon and Vega were identified as suspects following an investigation and were subsequently arrested in April 2024. Family members have provided conflicting statements, with Calderon’s sister defending her parenting skills, while other relatives have suggested that Vega was abusive towards her.
It was also discovered that Vega was out on bond at the time of the incident, facing a separate charge of possession of a controlled substance. While some family members believe Calderon should be held accountable for neglect, others maintain her innocence in causing physical harm to the children.
The bond reduction hearings for Calderon and Vega are scheduled for the coming weeks as the legal process unfolds.
Conclusion
As the case continues to develop, the community awaits further updates on the tragic loss of the twin infants and the legal repercussions facing their parents. Stay tuned for more details as the investigation progresses.
