ATTEMPTED MURDER OF 3-YEAR-OLD GIRL

Albany Police

On Sunday, October 22, 2023, at 1:40pm the Albany Police Department received a 911 call that a 3-year-old child was found face-down in a pool at a residence in Albany. Albany Police officers and Albany Fire Department responded to the emergency. Officers arrived first on scene and immediately began life saving efforts. Albany Fire paramedics continued these lifesaving efforts when they arrived and transported the child to an area hospital. Later, the child was transported to a Portland-area hospital for a higher level of care, where she remains in critical condition.

During the initial investigation, officers developed information leading them to believe the child’s condition resulted from an intentional act. The child’s mother, Kristen Brooks, 31 years of age, was arrested for Attempted Aggravated Murder and Criminal Mistreatment in the First Degree. She is presently lodged at the Linn County Jail. 

The investigation remains active and no further information for release is available at this time. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Albany Police Department Detective Unit at 541-917-7686 and reference case #23-06719.
