New information was revealed in court on Monday regarding the death of 4-month-old Zury Cruz Sumba.
Chicago police arrested 29-year-old Norma Chagnama. Police say the newborn — identified as Zury Cruz Sumba — was abused in the 4700 block of N. Lawndale Avenue.
Sumba was taken to the hospital unconscious and not breathing. She was later pronounced dead, police said. According to court documents, Chagnama had babysat Sumba at her own apartment since late last year. Documents say that on Feb. 16, Chagnama had noticed Sumba vomited on a bed. Chagnama then allegedly forcefully picked up the girl from the bed and swung her over her shoulder to pat the victim on the back.
Chagnama then allegedly threw the baby down onto the bed and realized the girl was having more trouble breathing.An autopsy determined the baby's death was a homicide. Sumba had a significant injury to her spinal cord, her brain was very swollen, and the child's eyes had hemorrhaging around both optic nerves."So obviously Norma's devastated. We don't agree with the allegations. We're maintaining her innocence.
