Claremont police have identified the infant girl who died in the 1400 block of Lynoak Drive Monday after allegedly being thrown to the ground by a juvenile boy as 4-month-old Troy May Elaine Cohn, from Pomona.

On Wednesday, “The Claremont Police Department presented its homicide investigation to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office,” read a CPD press release. “Following its review of the case, the District Attorney’s Office filed one count of murder against the juvenile suspect.”

The suspect, who was arrested at the scene Monday, was arraigned in Pomona Superior Court Thursday where the matter was continued until July 17 and transferred to juvenile court.

Claremont police responded to a medical emergency in the 1400 block of Lynoak Drive at 11:38 a.m. Monday, where they allege an infant girl “had been thrown to the floor by a juvenile at the residence.” LA County Fire Department and CPD administered life saving measures at the scene before the infant was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital MedicalCenter.

“Due to the severity of her injuries, the infant was later transferred to Children’s Hospital of Orange County, where she subsequently succumbed to her injuries,” read a CPD statement.

Police did not disclose the suspect’s age.

Claremont police urged anyone with information related to the incident to call (909) 399-5411. Anonymous tips can be submitted to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
