Philly couple wanted for murder in heroin OD of baby

Police are searching for a North Philadelphia couple, charged with murder in the cocaine and heroin overdose of an infant.

Milton Galarza-Rojas was 9-months-old when he was rushed July 29 to St. Christopher's Hospital. Medics had responded to a residence on the 4500 block of N. 7th Street where a caller had reported a baby was having difficulty breathing, police said. The child was not breathing when, at 2:36 a.m., medics arrived.

Milton was dead on arrival, police said. An autopsy determined the child died of heroin and cocaine intoxication.

Homicide detectives have charged the child's uncle, Oscar Rivera, 34, of the 700 block of E. Tioga Street, and the child's aunt, Viameri Santana-Berrious, 27, of Helen Street, with murder in the child's death. A police spokeswoman said the couple may have fled to Puerto Rico.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334 or dial 911.
