WASHINGTON — A Maryland woman’s actions led to the death of her 2-month-old daughter, Montgomery County police said.

Police arrested 31-year-old Rockville resident Rebecca Briones Wednesday on a charge of murder and child abuse for the death of her daughter Lissana Briones.

Briones called 911 on Feb. 18 to report that Lissana was not responsive during a nap.

Rockville police and emergency personnel responded, and Lissana was taken to a local hospital. She was later flown to Medstar Georgetown University Hospital in D.C., where she died three days later.
