A transgender Albuquerque woman is charged with murder for allegedly beating a toddler to death.
Shawn Vincent Boniello, who goes by Shayla, has been charged in Rockdale, Texas, north of Austin.
Police say the 30-year-old was babysitting 1-year-old Patricia Ann Rader last week.
Paramedics were called when the girl was found unresponsive. They performed CPR, but were unable to revive her.
The girl’s funeral was held Monday morning.
Prosecutors said they had not yet decided whether they will seek the death penalty for Boniello.
