OKLAHOMA CITY — Police arrested a man on a murder complaint after the death of his 4-month-old daughter, who was found unresponsive in a south Oklahoma City home Saturday.
Just after midnight, October 11, patrol officers were dispatched to a residence at 3813 S. Drexel Ave. to check on the welfare of an infant, according to MSgt. Gary Knight with the Oklahoma City Police Department.
When they arrived, officers began CPR on the baby, identified as 4-month-old Journey Carrillo. The baby was taken to OU Children’s Hospital, where she later died.
Police believe Journey was in the care of her father, Isaac Carrillo, 23, at the time she sustained fatal injuries.
Carrillo was arrested that night and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a complaint of child abuse.
After the baby’s death, the complaint has since been amended to first-degree murder. A $10-million bond was set.
As of Wednesday, Carrillo remained in custody. Formal charges had not yet been filed by the Oklahoma County District Attorney’s office.
OCPD is counting this case as homicide #56 for the City of Oklahoma City in 2025.
OKCPD is asking anyone with any information to contact the Homicide Tip Line at 405/297-1200.
This case will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office, which will ultimately determine whether charges will be filed.
