Tyson's Corner tragedy has Mason tie

The parents of the 2-year-old girl allegedly thrown from a fifth-story walkway by her grandmother at Tyson’s Corner Center Monday evening had connections to Mason’s campus.

According to a Washington Post story published today, the child’s mother is a Mason graduate and both the grandmother and her husband have worked part time as ushers at the Patriot Center.

The child died from injuries sustained in the incident and police have charged the grandmother, Carmela Dela Rosa, with murder. Dela Rosa has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Jan. 4 and is currently being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
