Two Serra Mesa parents suspected of contributing to their 3-month old daughter's 2009 death were arrested Thursday morning.

Steven and Sara Davenger were detained at about 9 a.m. at the Naval Station on 32nd Street, according to the San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit, which teamed with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to make the arrest.

It took a year and a half for them to make the case, but they finally charged the parents!

This happened in the apartment complex next to my work building....hits close to home for me.

RIP Aziya.
 
Aziya Davinger died Oct. 13, 2009, of staph and bone infections due to multiple traumatic rib fractures, Rooney said. An autopsy ruled her death a homicide.

The Medical Examiner’s Office said at the time that the fractures were caused by blunt-force injuries inflicted over time.

More info at this article....but what gets me is that this was a THREE MONTH OLD - that "inflicted over time" statement just makes me cringe!
 
RIP Aziya may you get the justice you deserve!

A Navy woman whose actions allowed her husband to continually injure her 3-month-old daughter, resulting in the child's death, was sentenced Tuesday to six years in state prison.

Sara Davinger, 23, pleaded guilty to felony child abuse in the 2009 death of her infant daughter, Aziya... Danielsen said the defendant's actions, in part, resulted in the child being killed by her Navy husband, Steven, who was not the baby's biological father...

Steven Davinger, 29, pleaded guilty last October to four counts of felony child abuse and was sentenced earlier this year to 21 years in state prison.

The couple's babysitter, Thomas Stevenson, pleaded guilty to child abuse and was sentenced to a two-year prison term.
