Texas authorities have arrested and charged Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez in connection with the injury and death of a 3-month-old baby.
Texas authorities have arrested and charged an illegal immigrant in connection with the April 21 death of a 3-month-old baby. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said Melvin Jesus Aquino Enriquez, 26, of Porter, is charged with injury to a child and assault-family violence.
The MCSO Special Victims Unit is awaiting autopsy results to 'further determine the circumstances leading to the untimely and devastating death of the child,' at which point officials will determine whether 'appropriate additional charges' are warranted, the sheriff's office said. The suspect is currently detained on $75,000 bond. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also placed a detainer on Enriquez 'due to his immigration status,' the sheriff's office said.
An ICE spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Aquino Enriquez, a 'previously removed Mexican national,' entered the United States illegally 'on an unknown date and at an unknown location without inspection, admission or parole by an immigration officer.
Our office, alongside the community, mourns the tragic loss of this young life. We are committed to ensuring justice is served and are determined to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future,' the sheriff's office said.
