This story is about a 1-year-old boy who died in a daycare called Divino Niño Daycare Center in the Bronx, and how three other kids were hospitalized after they were exposed to Fentanyl on September 15, 2023. Fentanyl is an exceptionally potent drug, and its street variant is increasingly lethal. Even a minute quantity can be fatal if accidentally ingested by a child. Officials reported that two days after being apprehended by police in Mexico, the husband of the daycare’s owner and operator appeared in federal court in California to answer to allegations. The fourth individual detained and charged in connection with the potential fentanyl exposure is Felix Herrera Garcia, who had been evading authorities since the youngster died on September 15. According to court documents, authorities claimed that a kilogram of the deadly and potent drug was kept on top of children’s play mats, and more fentanyl was discovered hidden beneath trap doors within the daycare area where the children played and slept. when four children at the daycare began showing signs of overdose, court records indicate that Felix Herrera Garcia received two calls from his wife, Grei Mendez, whom authorities have identified as a co-conspirator. Investigations suggest that Mendez reached out to him even before contacting emergency services (911). Furthermore, she also communicated with Herrera Garcia’s cousin, Carlisto Acevedo Brito, who is believed to have been involved in the illegal activities and has since been apprehended by the authorities. The owner of the daycare and a tenant of the next flat have both been arrested and are being held on suspicion of murder and drug possession. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/24/nyregion/bronx-day-care-death-fentanyl-nyc.html?smid=url-share
Ghost guns found in Harlem day care: NYPD. In a sting operation that resulted in the capture of a young person suspected of producing ghost firearms, police recovered three 3D-printed pistols and a 3D printer from an East Harlem daycare, according to NYPD officials on Wednesday. The arrest happened after search warrants directed at the operation were carried out on Tuesday. The fentanyl overdose death of a toddler in the Bronx, suspected of occurring in a daycare that served as a stash house for massive amounts of the hazardous narcotic, was reported just days prior to the arrest and the seizure of the firearms. The Daily News received confirmation on Wednesday from two persons who reside in the same building as the daycare that April Coley manages it from her two-bedroom flat. One of those neighbors, who wished to remain unnamed, claimed that April Coley was interrogated by the NYPD on Tuesday, and that her son Karon “Jamal” Coley and another man, who was younger, were also detained. https://www.nydailynews.com/2023/09/27/ghost-guns-harlem-day-care-nypd-bust/
This story happened back on June 20, 2018, when Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz Junior, who was 15 years old was killed brutally in 2018 after being mistaken for a member of a gang. He was pursued, dragged out of a Bronx bodega, slashed with knives and a machete, and left to die on a street corner. In the summer of 2018, the Trinitarios were out looking for adversaries when they came across Lesandro and thought he belonged to a rival set within the same gang. According to the police, Lesandro was not a gang member. Prosecutors claimed that the Trinitarios chased the youngster for several streets in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx while on foot and in vehicles. They discovered him despite his attempts to hide inside a nearby bodega. They pulled him from the store and used knives and machetes to attack him. Both security cameras and smartphone videos of his murder were obtained. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/20/nyregion/lesandro-guzman-murder-trinitarios-trial.html?smid=url-share
