Father from Utah Faces Murder Charges Following Death of 3-Month-Old Baby; Mother Accused of Obstructing Justice

 

The heartbreaking story of 3-month-old Dariana Gonzalez-Samano has shaken everyone. 

Her short life, filled with promise and joy, was tragically cut short.  

Her father, Israel Levi Gonzalez Gomez, now faces charges of murder in connection with her death, while the mother, Andrea Samano Galeana, faces charges of obstructing justice.

The details surrounding this case are deeply disturbing.  

According to court documents, Dariana suffered multiple injuries, including retinal hemorrhages, a traumatic cataract, and brain bleeding.  

These signs point towards a history of inflicted trauma, raising concerns about the well-being of the child prior to her death.

The investigation reveals a series of conflicting statements from Mr. Gomez.  

Initially, he claimed he "lightly spanked" Dariana in a desperate attempt to calm her crying. 

Later, he offered a new narrative, claiming she fell off the bed.  

These inconsistencies cast doubt on the events leading to Dariana's demise.

Equally concerning is the alleged behavior of Dariana's mother, Andrea Samano Galeana.  

Court documents indicate she knew of prior injuries, including a black eye and a torn piece of tissue, yet failed to disclose this vital information to medical professionals.

This silence may have hindered attempts to protect Dariana from further harm.

Dariana's family, including her grandmother who established a GoFundMe page, grieves her absence.  

As the legal proceedings unfold, the community seeks justice for this innocent victim.
