The girl died of blunt abdominal trauma and her death was ruled a homicide, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
When she became unresponsive, Hawkins Scott took her by public transportation to a hospital instead of calling 911, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday, citing Los Angeles police.
Hawkins Scott, a resident of the Westlake area of Los Angeles, has been charged with one felony count each of murder, assault on a child causing death and child abuse, prosecutors said in the release.
Hawkins Scott, who was being held on $1.1 million bail, was scheduled to return to court on April 7 for a preliminary hearing, according to the DA’s office.
She faces up to life in prison if convicted.
