Grandmother arrested in death of 10-year-old

A Wheat Ridge grandmother has been arrested on suspicion of causing the death of her grandson, 10-year-old Angel Goodwin.

Onesia Ann Najera was arrested at a motel near 5th and Wadsworth last week. She was taken into custody without incident according to police.

Police had issued an arrest warrant for Najera, on two counts of child abuse resulting in death, a week earlier, but had been unable to locate her.

Goodwin was found unresponsive by authorities the evening of May 5 at an apartment in the 2600 block of Chase Street. The developmentally disabled boy was transported to a nearby hospital, and later pronounced dead.

Wheat Ridge PD said officers were familiar with the residence, having visited it before, in tandem with Jeffco Health and Human Services.
