A 2-year-old girl died Monday after possibly being jostled around her father's Camaro as he tried to flee police after he took the child from daycare and allegedly assaulted the girl's mother, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez asked for prayers for the child's survival during a 2 p.m. news conference. At 4 p.m., he announced that the girl had died.
The man went to the daycare around 10:15 a.m., where the girl had shortly before been dropped off by her mother, Gonzalez said. After that, the man drove to a nearby Walmart when he confronted to girl's mother at work, and demanded to see her phone. During that confrontation, the man struck the woman in the face and then fled the store with baby, Gonzalez said.
Police initially treated the situation as a standoff, and a negotiator approached the car, where he learned the child had been injured, Gonzalez said. At about 12:40 p.m., an assault team then used a"distraction device" to approach the car and remove the man and the child, Gonzalez said. The man wasn't injured and was taken to Harris County Jail.
