Estefania Roman-Aguilar

- Police are searching for a 19-year-old Brookhaven woman who they say is wanted for the 2016 murder of her five-month-old child.

Officials believe Estefania Roman-Aguilar is on the run and possibly in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. It is possible she could be with her father, Jose Hilario-Gomez, who Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta said is also wanted by DeKalb County for armed robbery.

A warrant was put out for Roman-Aguilar's arrest after an investigation that began on Sept. 21, 2016. On that day, Brookhaven Police officers responded to a medical call on Buford Highway.

When officers arrived at the home, they say they found the five-month-old girl not breathing.

The child was transported to Scottish Rite Hospital and pronounced dead.

During the investigation, officials said that the death seemed suspicious and eventually "lead to evidence of a homicide."

A warrant was issued on Nov. 2, 2016, charging Roman-Aguilar with murder. That warrant has now been tued over to the United States Marshal's Service.

Police are asking anyone with information on Roman-Aguilar to contact the Brookhaven Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
