A mother has been charged with murdering her child by intentionally leaving it for hours in a scorching automobile in sweltering 95-degree Texas warmth.
Vanessa Esquivel, 27, was arrested after her little one died from being left in her automobile on Aug. 16 because the mother went to work in Frisco, police stated.
“Detectives imagine Esquivel deliberately left her 15-month-old little one for over two hours in a car she knew didn’t have working air-con with an out of doors temperature of at the very least 95 levels,” the Frisco Police Division stated.
As a result of her otherwise-unidentified child died, “detectives believed possible trigger existed that Esquivel had dedicated homicide,” the division stated.
Esquivel was arrested in Dallas on Aug. 20 and transferred again to the Frisco Police Division the identical day.
Cops didn’t elaborate on a motive.
She was booked on the Collin County Jail the place she’s being held on a $250,000 bond.
If convicted, she faces 5 years to life in jail, in line with police.
