In Moorhead, a couple has been charged with the murder of a three-year-old boy, Eastyn Deronjic. Prosecutors allege that 24-year-old Rosa Garza and 22-year-old Shiann Erickson are responsible for the child’s death, which occurred in March.
Investigators have reported that Eastyn suffered 28 blunt-force injuries while in the couple’s care. Erickson admitted to police that she would try to protect Eastyn by standing between him and Garza but denied witnessing Garza hitting the boy in the days leading up to his death.
Both Garza and Erickson are now facing second-degree murder charges as the case unfolds. This tragic incident has shocked the community, and the legal proceedings will continue as more details emerge.
