Overview
- Prosecutors filed an amended complaint on March 10 accusing Marisol Flores of murder and assault on a child causing death in the 2015 death of her 25-day-old baby.
- Flores had already been charged in the Feb. 8 death of her newborn at an Oxnard homeless encampment, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide caused by sharp force injury to the head.
- Investigators say new evidence uncovered during the 2026 homicide probe led them to link Flores to the 2015 case, though authorities have not disclosed the details or the earlier infant’s cause of death.
- The complaint adds special allegations including use of a deadly weapon, victim vulnerability, and multiple murders, which could make her eligible for life without parole if proven.
- The case is suspended pending a court-ordered psychological evaluation, with a competency hearing set for March 26, and Flores remains in custody at Todd Road Jail on $500,000 bail.
