Officers were first dispatched to Silvey's Motel in the 1000 block of West Capitol Avenue around noon Monday for a report of a welfare check, the West Sacramento Police Department said. There, a 1-year-old child was found dead from traumatic injuries. Another child was hurt in the incident, West Sacramento police confirmed on Tuesday. Police had said Woods was considered dangerous and should not be approached if seen. They urged that anyone who knows Woods contact them.Police explained how this type of crime is always difficult to investigate."This is absolutely a traumatic event for anybody ... especially family members of the deceased child. For the officers responding to it," Iwanicki said. "It’s very hard not to feel that emotional connection when you see a child harmed in such a way, especially that ends in their demise."A spokesperson for the family identified the baby girl as Amanda Marie Owens and shared these photos of her with KCRA. The baby's 3-year-old brother was also hurt during the crime and is "recovering from injuries he sustained in the incident." The West Sacramento Police Department is urging those struggling with family and life pressures to contact the Yolo County Child Abuse Prevention Council. Other resources for those experiencing mental health issues can be found on the county's website.
