A woman is being held in jail on a $250,000 bond after being charged in connection with the death of her 3-year-old child in Cleveland, court documents show. 

Danielle Johnson, 23, was arrested and charged with aggravated murder on Friday, police said.

On Wednesday, police responded to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital to find Johnson's daughter in full arrest. Authorities said Johnson took the girl to the hospital after she was found unresponsive. 

The 3-year-old died at the hospital, and police have ruled her death a homicide. 

Family members told authorities the child has a seizure disorder and had a seizure on Wednesday.

Police also said they observed bruises on the girl.
