Katrina Rose Mendoza admitted her role in helping torture her daughter, Mercedes Losoya, to death in 2022.
Katrina Rose Mendoza was sentenced to 45 years in prison for helping torture her 5-year-old daughter, Mercedes Losoya, to death in 2022. It was the maximum penalty allowable under a plea deal reached last summer. Mendoza, 24, showed no emotion when state District Judge Stephanie Boyd issued it Monday in 187th District Court . But she stifled her sobs as Mercedes ’ great-great-grandmother, Lupe Marin Torres , delivered a victim impact statement.
Jordan, the child’s older sister, was treated better but testified she was forced to participate in some of the punishment. Ruiz chronicled the abuse on video captured by cellphones and Ring cameras in a closet where Mercedes was placed for time outs. Ruiz forced Mercedes to eat feces and drink urine, made the child hold heavy objects for hours, and stuck thumbtacks into the bottoms of her feet.
