Paz was treated at Kern Medical after losing consciousness and having stopped breathing. Paramedics were able to revive him for a short time before he died from his injuries.

Santiago has been charged with two counts of willful cruelty to a child.

Paz's mother, Clara Rose Marshall, is also being charged in the death of her son. She has been charged with two counts of willful cruelty to a child.
