Hilda Ann Adame has been arrested in connection with the tragic death of her child, who was left inside a hot car in the parking lot of Tom Browne Middle School. Corpus Christi Police Department officers responded to the incident on Tuesday.
Adame is facing charges of serious bodily injury to a child and child endangerment/abandonment with imminent bodily injury.
The child was found in the vehicle in the school parking lot, and despite efforts to revive them, they tragically passed away. Adame was taken to the main police station for questioning.
Details about how long the child was in the vehicle or whether the vehicle belonged to a CCISD employee or contractor are still unknown.
