()A probable cause affidavit obtained by affiliate KVEO revealed new details in the death of a 4-year-old boy who died after being left in a hot daycare van in Texas.

Sendy Ruiz, 38, and Karen Silva, 36, were arrested in connection to the death of Logan Urbina, who was found unresponsive in a van that belonged to the Learning Club Pre School.

Documents indicate that on Friday, the Learning Club Pre-School took its students on a field trip to Los Fresnos. The van, which was in direct control of Ruiz and Silva, departed from the daycare at 8:30 a.m. The field trip concluded at about 11 a.m., and from there, the women transported 24 children, including Logan Urbina.

Of the 24 children who went on the field trip, 15, including Urbina, were placed in a 2018 Ford Transit Van and brought back to the daycare after the field trip. They arrived back to the Learning Club Pre School at about 11:30 a.m.

Statements obtained by police indicate that at about 4:30 p.m., staff members from the Learning Center Pre School began to realize that Urbina was missing. Silva and a second witness decided to go outside and check the van where they found Urbina who was unresponsive.

Silva and the witness removed Urbina from the van and another witness began to perform CPR on the child.

Shortly after, police and EMS were called. They discovered that the child was dead upon arrival.

Ruiz cooperated with police and provided a statement saying that she and Silva were in charge of the van and that when they came back to the daycare, they did not realize that Urbina had not gotten off the van. Silva refused to speak to police without her attorney present.

Both Silva and Ruiz face charges of injury to a child causing death, a second-degree felony. Ruiz was released on a $60,000 bond Wednesday. Silva was issued a $10,000 bond. It is not yet known if she has been released from custody.

Since the news of his death, the Brownsville community has rallied around Logan Urbina’s family. A GoFundMe account has been made in an effort to help Urbina’s family with funeral expenses.

Urbina’s funeral services are scheduled for Monday, July 7.
