(KAIR)--An Atchison woman, wanted in Leavenworth County in connection with the 2023 death of her child, is now in custody following her arrest, last week, at her Atchison home.

According to a release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, the arrest warrant was executed around 2:00 Thursday afternoon in the 1200 block of Highland Street, in Atchison, ending with the arrest of Liberti Figueroa. She was taken into custody on an outstanding Leavenworth County District Court warrant charging her with involuntary manslaughter and two counts of aggravated endangering a child.

Initially booked into the Atchison County Jail on a bond of $25,000, Figueroa was, on Monday, released to the custody of the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office.

Formal charges are filed against the 23-year-old Figueroa by the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office in connection with the child's death that WDAF-TV reports happened at a Leavenworth apartment complex in October, 2023.
