7/23/2019, 1350 hrs) An Alexandria woman has been charged with Second Degree Murder in connection with the death of her 5-year-old child on July 17. Early that afternoon, the mother, Jasmine Anderson, brought the girl to a local hospital emergency room where doctors determined the child was deceased upon arrival. Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators were called to the scene to conduct an investigation. According to the initial report, Anderson said they had been in a vehicle crash which caused injury to the child’s neck. For several hours, officers attempted to locate the area where Anderson claimed the crash occurred, however no evidence of any vehicle crash could be found. The injury also did not seem consistent with what would occur during a crash. At approximately 4 p.m. July 18, APD Traffic Officers located the scene where the incident took place and evidence indicated it was not a vehicle crash as described by Anderson. Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators responded and continued the investigation. An autopsy, performed on July 18, confirmed the child died from an injury to her neck. After a thorough investigation, and with cooperation from the District Attorney’s office, Detectives obtained a warrant for Jasmine Anderson’s arrest for Second Degree Murder. On July 23, Detectives contacted Anderson in Bunkie and placed her under arrest. She was transported to the Avoyelles Parish Detention Center and booked, then transferred to APD’s custody for interview. Following interview, she will be booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center. Previous reports posted on 11/21/2014 LA FUGITIVE (MISD) and 9/24/2015 CONTEMPT FAIL TO PAY FINE

TLDR: So this woman’s 4 year old son chokes to death on a bottle cap back in April, she does something to kill her daughter last week, and finally killed herself this weekend.
