A Peoria couple is facing child-abuse charges after police say two children were left abused and neglected. Jose Ayala and Jennifer Carrillo were arrested in connection with the case, according to police.
The arrests were first reported by FOX 10 Phoenix, which cited police in stating that Ayala and Carrillo face child-abuse charges in Peoria. The station's report identifies both Ayala and Carrillo as members of the couple now facing prosecution in the case.
What Police Have Said So Far
According to the same report, investigators say two children were left abused and neglected, though the station's coverage does not detail their ages, identities, or the specific injuries involved. The reporting also does not specify when the alleged abuse or neglect is said to have occurred.
The case was reported by journalist Jacob Luthi for the station. No additional details on bail, booking, formal charges, or case numbers were included in the available reporting.
Court Proceedings Ahead
Any future court hearings in the case would fall under Maricopa County Superior Court, which is able to livestream certain proceedings, though many hearings are held in person rather than streamed, according to the Maricopa County Superior Court calendar system. It remains unclear whether any hearing in this specific case will be made available for public viewing online.
No further details about attorneys, court dates, or the legal process ahead for Ayala and Carrillo have been made public. Hoodline will continue to follow the case as more information becomes available.
