Father Arrested In 1-Year-Old Girl's Death

Trinity Moon Died After Being Burned With Boiling Water

POSTED: 11:34 am EDT May 7, 2008
UPDATED: 6:02 pm EDT May 7, 2008

A Beaver County father is under arrest Wednesday in the death of a 1-year-old girl.

Trinity Moon died on April 19 after being burned with boiling water and receiving third-degree burns over 50 percent of her body.

Police said there was a domestic dispute between Troy Moon and the baby’s mother, 31-year-old Delonda Tucker, when Troy hit a pot of boiling water and it spilled onto Trinity.

Tucker originally told police that she tripped over the baby in a walker while carrying the pot of boiling water in the kitchen. Officials said she made up the story because she was afraid her other child would be taken from her.

Troy Moon was charged with criminal homicide and is in the Beaver County Jail with no bond.

Tucker has not been charged.
