A mother has allegedly admitted to beating her 4-year-old
daughter while high on heroin.

The mother, Jeri Quezada, said her boyfriend also played a part
in the death of Leiliana Wright, according to KTVT. Quezada
faces charges of injury to a child. Her boyfriend has not yet
been charged.

Leiliana died of blunt force trauma to the head and abdomen.

Police say when they were called on March 13th, Leiliana was not
breathing and had bruising from head to toe. At first, Quezada,
30, told police her daughter was hurt falling in the shower.

Eventually, police say, she admitted to shooting heroin and then
repeatedly hitting the little girl on March 12 with a belt and a
bamboo stick after the child drank her 18-month-old brother’s
juice. Quezada also blamed her boyfriend, Charles Phifer.

Quezada told police that Phifer tied the girl up in a closet
with her wrists tied behind her back, preventing her from
sitting down. Later in the evening, Quezada told police that
when Leiliana had trouble swallowing, she began to slap her on
the chest and hit her on the head while telling her to swallow
her food.

At one point, police say Phifer shoved the little girl against a
piece of drywall in the closet. Her body left an indentation in
the wall.

The girl’s grandparents, Craig and Alisa Clakley, tell KTVT that
they took photos a year ago when they saw bruises on Leiliana.
They reported the bruises to Child Protective Services, but say
the agency determined that Leiliana was safe.
