LongfellowSerenade 67
In December 2024, Chicago resident Marisol Vazquez, 37, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder following the death of her 21-month-old daughter, Lucia. On December 20, emergency responders found Lucia unresponsive in their East Garfield Park home, with water emerging from her mouth, suggesting drowning. Vazquez, reportedly making incoherent statements about being "trapped by electronics" and needing to "be with nature," later confessed to suffocating her daughter with a bedsheet, claiming that voices in her head instructed her to do so to protect Lucia from the devil. After a mental health evaluation, Vazquez was taken into custody on January 2, 2025, and is currently held at Cook County Jail, awaiting further court proceedings.

A Mother's Descent: The Tragic Case of Marisol Vazquez
In the early hours of December 20, 2024, the East Garfield Park neighborhood of Chicago awoke to a tragedy that would leave an indelible mark on the community. Marisol Vazquez, a 37-year-old resident of the 500 block of North Springfield Avenue, was arrested and charged with the first-degree murder of her 21-month-old daughter, Lucia.
Background
Born and raised in Chicago, Marisol had long been a member of the Humboldt Park community. Details about her early life, education, and employment remain sparse, but those who knew her described her as a devoted mother. However, in the months leading up to the incident, Marisol exhibited signs of severe mental distress, often speaking of "voices" and expressing fears about malevolent forces.
The Tragic Incident
On that fateful December morning, emergency responders were summoned to Marisol's residence. They found Lucia unresponsive, with water emerging from her mouth—a harrowing indication of drowning. Marisol, found naked beside her daughter, made incoherent statements about being "trapped by electronics", that “everyone had been raped” and the necessity to "be with nature." She later confessed to suffocating Lucia with a bedsheet, driven by voices that convinced her it was the only way to protect her child from the devil. Marisol also admitted to attempting self-harm, including drowning and cutting herself, but was unsuccessful in these attempts.
Legal Proceedings
Following a mental health evaluation at Ascension St. Mary Hospital, Marisol was arrested on January 2, 2025, in the 2200 block of West Division Street. She was charged with one felony count of first-degree murder. During her initial court appearance on January 4, prosecutors detailed her confessions and the circumstances surrounding Lucia's death. Marisol is currently held at the Cook County Jail, awaiting further court proceedings.
Impact on Victims and Society
The primary victim, young Lucia, lost her life under the most tragic of circumstances. The psychological toll on the family and the community has been profound, with many grappling to understand how such a tragedy could occur. The case has ignited discussions about mental health awareness, particularly the challenges faced by individuals in underserved communities. Media coverage has been extensive, prompting calls for improved mental health services and support systems to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Current Status
Marisol remains incarcerated, with her next court appearance scheduled for January 7, 2025. While her mental health evaluations are ongoing, there is a growing discourse on the importance of addressing mental health issues before they escalate to such devastating outcomes.
Conclusion
The tragic death of Lucia serves as a somber reminder of the critical need for accessible mental health care and early intervention. Communities and policymakers must collaborate to ensure that individuals exhibiting signs of severe mental distress receive the necessary support, potentially averting future tragedies.
Additional Note
Given the notoriety of this case, items bearing Marisol's autograph have become rare collector's items, reflecting a macabre interest in true crime memorabilia.
