The District Attorney’s Office for the 18th Judicial District announced Friday evening that it would “not be appropriate at this time” to file charges against a mother who was arrested after her 7-year-old daughter drowned Thursday night at an Arapahoe County apartment complex pool.

The investigation will continue and charges may be filed in the future, the district attorney’s office said.

Eve Gbeugre, 27, told investigators she left the child alone for about an hour because the girl “was not listening to her,” according to arrest documents.

Gbeugre said she “needed to step away” from the girl who died, in addition to her 6-year-old sister.

About 6 p.m., a resident at the complex found the 7-year-old girl — who didn’t know how to swim — face down in the center of pool.

Gbeugre was taken into custody on suspicion of child abuse resulting in death, but was released from the Arapahoe County jail after the decision was made against filing criminal charges.

“Investigators believe the child was able to gain access to the pool area when she was left alone in the residence for an undisclosed amount of time,” the county sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The sheriff’s office says they were called out to the complex at 8828 E. Florida Ave. — the Country Club Villas — about 6 p.m. on a possible drowning. When deputies arrived, the girl had already been pulled from the water and they immediately took over efforts from a bystander trying to revive her.

The girl was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to the sheriff’s office. Her name has not been released by the county coroner, but Gbeugre’s arrest documents show her eighth birthday would have been Sunday.

Gbeugre told investigators her daughter knew where the pool key was in their apartment, the arrest affidavit said. She also told authorities that she is pregnant and went to Walmart to get food when she left the girls unsupervised, according to the affidavit.

Investigators say it’s unclear how long the girl was in the pool before a bystander was alerted to her being in the water and called 911.

“It does not appear any adults were present at the time,” the sheriff’s office said.

Three girls — two young sisters and their babysitter — all died after drowning at a Pueblo mobile home park pool on Monday afternoon. Their deaths have been ruled accidental, though the case remains under investigation.
