DCS had open investigation on mother accused of killing her two kids in Tempe
The Department of Child Safety said it did not find evidence to remove the children from the home, but the investigation was still open. Author: 12 News Updated: 5:38 PM MST May 18, 2021
TEMPE, Ariz. The Arizona Department of Child Safety said it had an open investigation into the mother who is accused of killing her two children on May 15 in Tempe.
Yui Inoue, 40, faces charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of her two children, 9-year-old Mia Inoue, and 7-year-old Kai Inoue, according to the Tempe Police Department.
The records come from a running tally of critical incidents inside county jails dubbed Managing For Results, which correctional staff supervisors update after every shift. They were leaked to
Phoenix New Times by an MCSO staffer who was concerned about the increase in suicide attempts. The staffer declined to be named out of fear of retribution.
When reached for comment, MCSO spokesperson Norma Gutierrez-Deorta disputed the numbers in the records. In an email, she claimed that there were only two suicides and two attempted suicides in 2021. Similarly, she wrote that there were four suicide attempts and two suicides in 2020. After being presented with the leaked records, Gutierrez-Deorta wrote that she had to do some research on the issue. When contacted again for comment, she wrote, it’s going to take some time to go through our records.
Two years after having been arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting a 10-year-old girl, the man accused of her murder was taken into intensive care due to a fight at the Lower Buckeye Jail in Phoenix, according to a statement from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
Josh Gonzalez, 22, remains in the ICU after he got into an “altercation” with another inmate on March 27, the statement said on Sunday.
The statement read that MCSO jail crime detectives were investigating the incident.
It was April 3, 2019, when a driver in a white truck shot at Summer Bell Brown and her family while they parked their car in their driveway. Summer and her father had been shot and taken to a hospital, where Summer later died.
