El Paso County sheriff's detectives have arrested a mother in connection with the death of her 1-year-old baby earlier this year.
Detectives arrested 21-year-old Jeanniesse Sanchez on Wednesday on charges of injury to a child resulting in death and abandoning a child, sheriff's officials said.
The arrest follows a monthslong investigation into the death of the baby left in a bathtub on Feb. 7 at a home in Anthony, Texas, officials said.
Anthony police requested help from the sheriff's Major Crimes Unit in investigating the child's death.

The 1-year-old boy died at a hospital shortly after he was found unconscious in the bathtub of a home in the 500 block of Omar Road, sheriff's officials said.
Investigators determined that Sanchez was allegedly negligent and was not properly supervising the boy while he was in the tub, officials said.
Details on the negligence allegations and the death were not released.
