Overview
- The case traces to a July 18 911 call about a missing child at Fleming Meadows Lagoon, where bystanders and boat-patrol deputies began CPR before the girl was pronounced dead.
- The Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office said late in July that the death has been reclassified as a homicide and that no arrests have been made.
- Investigators are withholding further details while the probe continues and have asked the public for images showing the child on a raft or boat and for anyone who saw her before she was pulled from the water.
- A GoFundMe identified the child as Lailah Rosillo and shared a family friend’s statement about the loss, though that fundraising page is no longer available.
- Reclassifying the death as a homicide signals investigators believe evidence may point to non-accidental causes, and officials say they will provide more information when it does not jeopardize the active investigation.
