The father and stepmother of a 14-month-old baby<\/a> were charged with murder and other counts Monday after being accused of torturing and killing the girl in Long Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has also charged Alfredo Mu\u00f1oz, 40, and Kelly Mu\u00f1oz, 34, with torture and assault on a child causing death.<\/p>\n

The arraignment for the Long Beach couple was delayed until Dec. 16 as they were being held on $3 million bail.<\/p>\n

Long Beach police said officers first responded to a hospital on Nov. 7 after receiving reports of child abuse. The child, whose name was not announced, died on Nov. 10 after being on life support. <\/p>\n

\u00a0“Through their continued investigation, homicide detectives determined there had been on-going abuse to the child and the victim’s death was a result of abuse from her father and stepmother,” according to a police statement.<\/p>\n

The couple were arrested last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The exact nature of the abuse was not released, but police said the child had visible signs of trauma.<\/p>\n

Anyone with additional information was asked to contact homicide detectives Ethan Shear or Kelsey Myers at\u00a0\u00a0562-570-7244. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit
