Woman sought in death of 2-month-old son had been wanted on bench warrant

When San Jose detectives were called to a South Bay hospital in early April to investigate the death of a 2-month-old boy, they faced an uncomfortable twist.The child’s mother, Yuqi Yan, had an active warrant for her arrest after she allegedly skipped out on a felony court date a couple months earlier. And confronted with the prospect of jailing her that evening, the detectives decided to let her remain free.Now, San Jose police are seeking Yan on a new warrant filed this week — one accusing the woman of murdering her infant son, Charles Zheng. It follows a determination by Santa Clara’s medical examiner on Dec. 8 that the boy’s death was a homicide, citing how the child endured “repeated abuse and neglect” and died of the “combined effects of blunt force injuries of head, severe malnourishment and dehydration.”The search for Yan, 29, comes amid rampant speculation on Chinese social media accounts in recent months about whether the wom...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — At various times this season, the Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys have looked like contenders or pretenders.Both teams are 10-4, have offenses and defense ranked near the top of the league, and have taken care of lesser competition — sometimes winning by eye-popping margins.But both have struggled against the best teams in the league.Three of Miami’s four losses have come against teams with winning records, while all 10 of its wins have come against teams that entered at .500 or worse. The Cowboys’ only win against a team that currently has a winning record came two weeks ago in a 33-13 blowout of the ebbing Philadelphia Eagles.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he told his players to not think about playoff seeding — Miami currently holds the No. 2 spot in the AFC and can clinch a playoff berth with a win Sunday — or the “narrative” that they can’t beat good teams.“Anything other than to concern yourself with the next opponent, which for ...
