The parents of a 5-year-old girl who died in East Baltimore Monday afternoon have been arrested and charged with first-degree child abuse, according to police.

Officers were called around 12:40 p.m. to the 2200 block of Aiken Street where the child was found with signs of trauma. She died a short time later. Homicide detectives are investigating.

Neighbors along the block told WJZ they were heartbroken over the death of the young girl.

The medical examiner will determine the child’s cause and manner of death through an autopsy.

Three other children were in the home and were removed by Child Protective Services, police said. One child was taken to a hospital and the other two were placed in the care of relatives.
