San Jose Mother Arrested for Toddler's Fentanyl Death

Kelly Richardson, the mother of an 18-month-old girl who died from fentanyl and methamphetamine toxicity, has been arrested on a murder charge. The toddler, referred to as "Baby W," had a high concentration of fentanyl in her blood. Richardson and the child's father, Derek Vaughn Rayo, had fentanyl and opioids in their system at the time of their daughter's death. The parents waited over 12 hours before contacting the police, and investigators found evidence on electronic devices showing the defendants smoking narcotics near the baby. Rayo has been in custody since August and was served with a homicide warrant.
