On 06/23/2026 at 9:00AM Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Jaleesa Jackson and Diana Campos met with Licensee Katiha Higareda, to deliver the findings of a complaint investigation regarding the above allegation. The investigation was conducted by Investigator German Yegorov of the Investigations Branch. Present during the inspection was the Licensee, her fingerprint cleared sister, 4 preschool aged children, and 1 school aged child. Also present were her minor son and daughter in off limits areas of the home.

During Investigation Bureau (IB) investigation, interviews including video surveillance, reviewing medical records, autopsy findings, and law enforcement reports, the allegation of questionable death is determined to be unsubstantiated leading to the conclusion that while the allegation may have occurred or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation.

A notice of site visit was given and must remain posted for 30 days.
Appeal Rights were given and discussed. An exit interview was conducted.
