Winnetka mother arrested for murder after 3-year-old son dies – NBC Los Angeles

A Winnetka mother of twins was arrested on murder charges after her sons were found unconscious in their home, Los Angeles police said Friday.

When officers from the LAPD Topanga station rushed to their home in the 20,000 block of Sherman Way around 11:20 a.m. Thursday, they found the two three-year-old boys unconscious.

After the children were taken to a hospital, one of the twins was pronounced dead while the other was still in critical condition, the LAPD said.

Investigators believe the children had taken some substance.

The mother, identified as 22-year-old Jestice James, appeared to have shared the home with other residents. She and her roommates were questioned by the LAPD.

James, who was later arrested and charged with murder, was being held on $2 million bail on Friday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the LAPD.
