A 28-year-old Fountain man has been arrested in connection with the death of a 3-year-old girl.

David Lake was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for first-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Police and firefighters on Oct. 2 responded to a residence in the 3700 block of Ensenada Drive on a report of an unresponsive child, according to a news release. The child, Bella Ritch, was taken to a hospital, where she died of injuries. Police detectives investigated the girl’s death.

An autopsy report was finalized Jan. 10, and the manner of her death was ruled a homicide. On Tuesday a warrant was served, and Lake was taken into custody.

At the time of Bella’s death, Lake was in a relationship with the child’s mother, police said.
