Prosecutors filed charges Friday against three people accused of the January kidnapping and murder of a baby girl from Long Beach and the attempted murder of her mother, father and uncle.
Just three weeks old, Eliza De La Cruz was taken from her home by assailants who shot the three adults, none fatally, on Jan. 3, police have said. The infant's body was later found in a trash bin near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Giseleangelique Rene D'Milian, 47, of Thousands Oaks, was arrested with two alleged accomplices in connection with shooting and kidnapping, Long Beach police said Wednesday.
Originally scheduled to enter their pleas Friday, the group's arraignment was postponed until April 30. Attorneys for the defendendants didn't answer interview questions.
D'Milian is accused of orchestrating the attack in order to acquire two babies because she had told her boyfriend she was pregnant with twins, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors also suspect the three attempted on Feb. 6 to kill a woman and kidnap her four-month-old boy in an El Segundo motel, according to the statement.
Prosecutors planend to a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to set her bail at $5 million at a 1:30 p.m. hearing, the same amount they sought for the bail of Oceanside resident Anthony Ray McCall, 29.
