Atlanta Mother Charged in Infant’s Alcohol-Poisoning Death, Held Without Bond

Toxicology found a 0.179 blood-alcohol level indicating the two-month-old directly ingested alcohol.

Overview

  • Omayrilin Colon, 37, was arrested in late January and charged with murder and first-degree cruelty to children, then booked into Fulton County Jail.
  • A judge denied bail after Colon waived her bond hearing appearance, and she remains in custody as the case proceeds.
  • Emergency crews responded on October 14, 2025, to an Atlanta apartment on Perry Boulevard; the infant was pronounced dead at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
  • Medical officials reported a 0.179 BAC and concluded the alcohol was swallowed, not transferred through breast milk.
  • Investigators determined the poisoning was not accidental and allege the baby’s bottle was filled with alcohol, while the motive and the specific type of alcohol have not been disclosed.
