Jovan Trevino, 33, was arrested Tuesday at Western Arizona Regional Medical Center in Bullhead City, according to a statement Tuesday from Bullhead City police.
A woman suspected of killing her two young children at a Henderson home on Monday has been arrested in Arizona on murder charges.
An arrest warrant for Trevino states she checked into the hospital voluntarily, then confessed to both hospital staff and police that she killed her children, Gihanna Fox, 1, and Christopher Fox III, 4, by drowning them in separate bath tubs in her home in the 700 block of Calamus Palm Place, off Galleria Drive near Stufflebeam Avenue.
During a search of the home, police found the children’s bodies and a suicide note written by Trevino, Henderson police said in an arrest warrant obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The note, police said, “referenced the fact that she could not walk off this earth and leave my precious children behind.”
Trevino, police said, also offered details of how the children were slain during bath time. Trevino is awaiting extradition to Nevada to face two counts of murder, Bullhead City police said.
Police on Tuesday confirmed that their deaths were being investigated as homicides.
Officers were initially called to the location at about 6:30 p.m. Monday by the children’s father to investigate a medical emergency. When first responders arrived, the children were “beyond assistance” and pronounced dead at the scene, Henderson police said, describing their deaths as suspicious.
The Clark County coroner’s office had not identified the children or determined their cause and manner of death as of Wednesday morning.
