Two women and two boys in Louisiana have been arrested in connection with the brutal killing of a 3-year-old girl who authorities say was beaten to death by the two younger suspects, ages 10 and 12, while the adults were at a local casino.

Terica Scott, 26, and Dineshia Yates, 26, were taken into custody on Friday and Saturday, respectively, and charged with one count each of principal to simple battery and principal to second-degree murder in the death of Blessing Buckles, records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

The two juveniles were also arrested and charged with one count each of battery and second-degree murder.

According to a news release from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, deputies at about 3:45 p.m. on Monday responded to a call regarding an unresponsive 3-year-old girl at a home in the 3300 block of O’Neal Lane. The caller identified themselves as a child and told the emergency dispatcher that there were no adults in the home.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they observed Scott, who authorities identified as the mother of the 10-year-old suspect and the aunt of the 12-year-old suspect, and Yates, identified as the mother of the 3-year-old victim, pulling into the driveway of the residence with their hazard lights on. Upon making contact with police, both women said they had left the children in the home alone while they went to the casino.

The ages of the children in the home ranged from 11 months to 12 years old.

Emergency medical personnel were able to resuscitate the 3-year-old victim before transporting her to a hospital for treatment where she was admitted in critical condition. Unfortunately, Blessing succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
