, 29, is charged with one count of first-degree murder in the death of the baby, Zury Cruz-Sumba. Prosecutors also says she was running an illegal daycare.In a proffer, Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Jane Sack said Chagnama had been babysitting Zury since late November or early December. The babysitting arrangement was set up by Chagnama's husband, who knew Zury's father, Sack said.
This pattern continued until Thursday morning, Sack said. That morning, Zury's mother dropped her off at Chagnama's apartment and went to work at Popeye's until about 4 p.m., Sack said. That day, Chagnama was also looking after her own two children and two other boys, ages 5 and 6, Sack said. Chagnama then forcefully swung Zury onto her shoulder, and began patting the baby on the back before throwing her onto the bed, Sack said. Chagnama noticed Zury seemed to be having more trouble breathing after throwing the baby down, Sack said.
An ambulance came and rushed Zury to Swedish Hospital, Sack said. Zury's mother also went to the hospital, but Chagnama did not – despite being asked by the baby's mother, Sack said. The mother also contacted the baby's father, who started making his way home from the Kankakee area, Sack said. That evening, Chagnama and her husband came to Zury's parents' apartment and said they needed to trust the word of God – and Chagnama said she was sorry, Sack said. Chagnama's husband then handed Zury's father $2,000 to help with funeral experiences, Sack said.
