S. Sioux City infant's death blamed on severe head injury

SOUTH SIOUX CITY -- A 8-month-old died last month from a severe closed head injury, which authorities allege was not an accident and happened while the boy was in a South Sioux City woman's care.

Maria Dolores Madrigal, 39, aka Lola Madrigal, is charged with one count of child abuse, a class IB felony, and one count of first-degree assault, a class II felony, in connection with the Sept. 21 death of Alexis D. Vasquez-Perez. A warrant has been issued for Madrigal's arrest.

Sioux City Lt. Chuck Carson said today that Madrigal has not been arrested and that he cannot say whether authorities know where she is. Reports that Madrigal may be in Tennessee are inaccurate, according to Carson. He said Dakota County will extradite Madrigal when she is found.

A autopsy conducted Sept. 22 by Woodbury County Medical Examiner Thomas Carroll revealed that Alexis died as a result of non-accidental, inflicted trauma which resulted in a closed head injury and swelling of the brain.

According to court documents filed Thursday in Dakota County Court, Alexis' mother, Eluvia Vasquez-Perez noted that her child was having problems breathing when she picked him up from Madrigal's residence, 203 W. 13th St., Sept. 19. The documents state that Madrigal told her that Alexis was ill, had a fever and had vomited in her care.

Vasquez-Perez and two friends took Alexis to the Mercy Medical Center emergency room. There South Sioux City police investigators observed the child in "great distress."

Alexis was transferred to Children's Hospital in Omaha, where court documents state that Dr. Susan Haney told investigators that Alexis suffered a severe closed head injury which would have resulted in immediate incapacitation and unresponsiveness. Haney said in the documents that the swelling of Alexis' brain was "so swift that death would have soon followed without professional medical intervention."

Alexis, who was on life support since arriving at Children's Hospital, died Sept. 21.

According to the documents, Madrigal told detectives that Vasquez-Perez brought Alexis to her residence at 2:55 p.m. Sept. 18., and that Madrigal felt that Alexis had a fever and had vomited. The documents state that Madrigal said that Alexis moved around a great deal and came out of the child seat onto the floor, but was not injured. Madrigal said she attempted to feed Alexis some milk, but he only ate half of what he normally consumes.

Vasquez-Perez told investigators that Alexis was in good health, alert and active, when she left him at Madrigal's home before going to work. The documents state that Madrigal was Alexis' only caregiver during that time.

Her sister slapped my daughters friend earlier, burned her face because she had a lit cigarrette in her hand.. again nothing was done.. my friend and I both called and went to the police department filed complaints.. again nothing. Were told to contact the DA which we did .. she basicly told us that she has 18 months to decide "if" she would file charges.
