A Texas babysitter has posted $500,000 bail after police charged her with the capital murder of a 19-month-old baby girl in the city of El Campo, Wharton County.
Police responded to a 911 call from a home on Way Street in El Campo on January 19. Angel Castro, 26, told the police that when she was babysitting the child, it fell and died, El Campo Police told FOX 26. But police said that after reviewing the autopsy, the baby's death did not appear to be an accident.
Law enforcement said that the child, Roselyn Coates, died within hours of the 911 call. Castro was arrested without incident and was meant to be transferred to Wharton County Jail on a $500,000 bond. However, she paid the bond over the weekend, police said.
