A mother and her boyfriend were charged with murder Friday in the death of 2-year-old Elijah Archuleta.

Isela Reyes-Talamantes, 23, and her boyfriend, John Vigil, 24, are each charged with first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, according to the office of Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey. Officers were called to St. Anthony Central Hospital about 11 p.m. on Nov. 7 on a report of a child with severe burns. Elijah, who would have been 3 years old next month, was declared dead a few minutes later.

Reyes-Talamantes and Vigil are being held without bond at the Denver County Jail and are scheduled to appear in court Tuesday to be formally advised of the charges. The Denver Post
