Diana Eldridge
Metro Police arrested a woman two weeks after responding to the death of her 2-year-old daughter in a south valley apartment, according to booking logs.
Diana Eldridge, 23, was arrested Wednesday and booked at the Clark County Detention Center on one count of murder and two counts of child abuse and neglect, jail records show.
Officers responded to a report of a dead body shortly after 7 a.m. Oct. 18 at the apartment complex, 400 S. Maryland Parkway, south of Russell Road, according to police call logs.
Prior to her death, Jasmine Sherfield had "suffered from environmental and medical neglect for an extended period of time," police said.
Eldridge lived in the apartment with her three children, police said.
The Clark County coroner's office, which identified the toddler today, didn't release her official cause of death.
