Tatina Riveria
- January 9, 2009
In Omaha, Nebraska, a seven month
old baby girl was taken off of life support on January 9, 2009. Tatina
Riveria suffered terribly at the hands of her father
who shook and beat her so
violently, that she was placed on life support.
An ambulance was called to
the home of Augustine Rubio who said his baby daughter was not breathing.
Paramedics rushed her to the hospital where it
was discovered that she had
three fractures in her skull, that was January 8,
2009. Augustine was arrested
and charged with felony child abuse. The charge was later upgraded to murder,
after she was taken off of life support and died.
On January 12, 2009, Augustine
Rubio, who was 28 at the time, was booked at the Douglas County Department
of Corrections for felony child abuse resulting in death.
