Teens Accused In Child's 'Mortal Kombat' Death Police: 7-Year-Old Hit, Kicked, Body-Slammed
JOHNSTOWN, Colo. -- Two teenagers accused of beating a 7-year-old girl to death while playing a game of "Mortal Kombat" have been arrested and charged as adults in the case.
Police said the victim was the step-sister of one of the suspects.
Lamar Roberts, 17, of Westminster, Colo., and Heather Maria Trujillo, 16, were taken into custody Tuesday night.
According to the arrest affidavit, Roberts and Trujillo were baby-sitting Zoe Garcia at her home when Trujillo and Garcia were wrestling as they always do, karate kicking, punching and kicking.
However, court records said a witness saw Roberts kicking and body slamming her. The witness said Roberts didn't know how bad he was hitting Garcia because he was drunk.
When Garcia lost consciousness, Roberts and Trujillo tried to wake her up by placing her in a bathtub, the affidavit said. They also cracked open an egg and put it in her mouth to make sure Garcia was not "messing with them."
The teens waited for 15 minutes before contacting police because they were afraid "the cops were going to get mad" because teens were watching a child, the affidavit said.
When Johnstown police arrived, they found Garcia unconscious and not breathing at her home.
Garcia died from her injuries at North Colorado Medical Center.
Garcia's mother, Dana Trujillo, told 7NEWS, "she was a good student, she loved school, and she was a good girl."
"She was my sidekick, I took her with me everywhere." Trujillo said.
The teens face one count each of felony child abuse resulting in death.
"We are talking about a pair disciplining a kid, but when a kid is harmed in this kind of violent situation, we are going to take it very seriously," said Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck.
An autopsy conducted on Garcia found she had a broken wrist, 20 bruises and bleeding under the spine and in the brain.
Two twins were inside the home as well. Police said they were removed and are now in the custody of protective services.

they should get the full penalty that is inexcuseable, they are minors but come on that is outrageous. they arent that young that they dont know any better. i just don't understand how 2 people ages 16 and 17 could do something so heinous to a yr old.

OMG THEY HAD MARRIJEWANA IN THEIR BLOOD PROBABLY!!!1111 INCREEAS MINIMOM SENTENCING!!!!!!!11111
But anyway, I don't think anyone under 18 should be tried as an adult, because, they aren't adults under any other law. These kids are fucked up and should be tried as kids that are fucked up.
They obviously don't live on their own, so why would they be tried as adults? I just don't get it.
The American legal system is one fucked up thing. As is this story, but STFU.

As much as a I love Colorado, a LOT of really messed up murder type things happen there. 
I know, I know, crap happens EVERYWHERE, but for a state Colorado's size, that has such a cool vibe, a lot of crazy things go down.
Darn Mortal Combat. Just when I was going to blame ignorance.

Because they allegedly called the game they played mortal kombat. I remember being younger and hearing others talk about mortal kombat trampoline wrestling.
It was fun.

This is definatly horrible but what gets me is they use the name of a video game like "Mortal Kombat" to be synonymous with death. I think acclaim should start a lawsuit! If the reported was talking about an actual figure of speech, it should be spelled Mortal Combat, not Kombat exactly like the video game. Just another attempt at the media to blame how fuck up our society is on video games. Cuz they make you wanna kill kids duh!!!

Will Jack Thompson and/or some soccer mom try to get laws changed and/or sue someone claiming that video games killed this child?
(Jack Thompson is the guy that wants violent video games banned.)

Hey, my parents live in Johnstown.
And I'll be up there for Xmas.
Someone needs to buy these kids a PS3 so they can play some up-to-date games. Mortal Kombat came out in the early '90s.

I dunno, I think that sounds like a pretty logical next step after beating a young girl nearly to death and then putting her in the bath-tub.

Anyone else think it was, on the basis of this article alone, not necessary to remove the other kids from the home?
I don't know why it is necessarily the parents fault. Its not irresponsible to let a 17 year old babysit, and since they're in jail they're not an issue. So why can't the parents have what's left of their family?
I have a pretty cynical view of children's services though
