Jolene Beyer-LaCrue, 19, was arrested by Denver Police (DPD) officers Thursday night. DPD said LaCrue is being held on investigation of child abuse resulting in death. LaCrue's boyfriend, Cain Gallardo, 21, was arrested on on May 4, DPD said. Gallardo has been charged with two counts of child abuse resulting in death, the Denver District Attorney's Office said.
LaCrue is being held in the Denver Detention Center without bond, according to jail records. Gallardo is also being held in the Denver Detention Center on a $100,000 cash bond, court records show.

Much of the case is not known since arrest affidavits and probable cause for arrest statements are currently sealed.
Denver Police said Gianna's death was extensively investigated over the past nine months by their homicide detectives and the Denver Medical Examiner's Office.
Gallardo's next court appearance is scheduled for June 14. LaCrue's next court appearance has not yet been scheduled.
