California mom arrested for alleged murder of 9-year-old daughter after child’s body found in home

A California mother has been arrested on charges of murdering her nine-year-old daughter who was found dead in their Orange County home on Friday.

Khadiyjah Aliyyah Ali Pendergraph, 32, was arrested at a shopping center in the city of Aliso Viejo in connection with her son’s death and is being held in the Orange County Jail.

Westminster police responded just after noon on Friday to the 14100 block of Goldenwest St. in Westminster to conduct a welfare check following a call from a concerned family member, according to Fox 11.

Officers forced their way into the home and found the girl’s body with signs of trauma, police said.

Pendergraph, who was not home when officers found the body, was later located and arrested at a shopping center in Aliso Viejo.

“While police officers are exposed to tragedy every day, this murder is deeply troubling, given the senseless loss of a child allegedly at the hands of his own mother,” Westminster Police Chief Darin Lenyi said.

The case is still under investigation.
