Laura Lea Kolb, 36, is facing charges of Injury to a Child. Police say they received a frantic 911 call a little after 4am about a four-year-old child not responding.
When crews arrived to the home in the 11900 block of 16th Street, they found a man holding his daughter. They began to treat the girl, who was transported to the hospital with CPR in progress. The girl was pronounced dead a short time later.
During an invesitgation, police say they discovered that Kolb, the live-in girlfriend of the deceased child's father, had an argument with the father.
The child's father left to visit with a friend in a downstairs apartment. Kolb reportedly went downstairs, too, but fell down the stairs, injuring herself. When she went back up, police say she assaulted the child. They say she admitted to shoving the child to the floor and then throwing her on the bed.
Kolb is being held on a $250,000 bond. Additional charges may be added once the autopsy is complete.
