The Houston Police Department responded to 911 calls from an apartment complex around the 6500 block of Houston, Texas, about 6:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday (July 3).

According to authorities, two ladies were running errands in a pickup truck the next day, and the little girl was part of a group of young people.

The ladies allegedly parked at their apartment complex and brought everyone inside; however, the four-year-old was left behind, and authorities believe she was likely forgotten.

Investigators suspect the youngster was left in the heated truck for roughly an hour before being discovered missing after initial investigations.

Once they got back to the truck and found the girl, one of the ladies called 911. They took her to the hospital, where they later declared her dead.

The investigation is still ongoing despite the lack of any arrests at this time.

Lt. Larry Crowson has advised parents and guardians against leaving their children in hot automobiles without knowing where they are.

“Always take precautions. “Try to remember where your children are,” he told ABC13.

“I know some people take precautions, like leaving their phone, purse, or keys to the house in the backseat with the children, so they don’t forget to check on them before they get out of the car.”
UNILAD has contacted Houston police for additional information.

According to the US Department of Transportation, over 40 children in the United States die of heatstroke each year after being left in a very hot automobile.

In 2019, Charlotte Jones succumbed to heat stroke following her abandonment in a heated car at 36°C (96F).

Her father, Scott, had brought her and her sister to school for the normal drop-off and then drove home with Charlotte in the car.

Scott neglected to send his ailing daughter to school that morning.

He then logged into work, not realizing his daughter was still in the car until his wife called four hours later.

Despite Scott’s swift call to 911, it was too late; his daughter had perished from heatstroke in the heated automobile.

Angela, Charlotte’s mother, issued a warning to other parents.
