A BABY girl died after being injected with heroin multiple times by her family members.
Brixlee Lee was just two months old when police officers found her unconscious in her Texas home last weekend.
Little Brixlee was pronounced dead on Thursday after being put on life support at Cook’s Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth.
Police have arrested the baby’s mother Destiney Harbour, 21, her grandmother Christin Bradley, 37, and Bradley’s boyfriend Dustin Smock, 34, in connection with the child’s death.
After Brixlee was rushed to the hospital, doctors found injection marks on her arms and legs, and head, according to Metro.
A urine test later turned up positive for heroin.
A search of the family’s home turned up drug paraphernalia and what authorities believe to be heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana, according to WKRC.
Harbour, Bradley, and Smock were all charged with injury to a child serious bodily injury, though it’s unclear at this time which of the three was injecting the child with drugs.
Brixlee was reportedly born at home in August, and her mother never sought medical care for her.
Her mother and her mother’s boyfriend were sharing the responsibility of caring for the baby, according to reports.
Harbour and Smock are reportedly still in custody in Tom Green County Jail.
Bradley was freed on Sunday, a few days before the child succumbed to her injuries, on a $50,000 bond, according to reports.
