The state Medical Examiner ruled the death of 7 month old Clarissa Tejeda in Albuquerque from spinal meningitis after initial suspicions of child abuse. Tejeda was taken to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center then airlifted to UNM Medical Center in critical condition. Roswell detectives were asked to review possible abuse as doctors reported concerning symptoms. The incident prompted a Chaves County Commission meeting agenda including permits, contracts, juvenile detainee housing, easements, and budget resolutions.
