According to the Houston Fire Department, a young boy has died after going into cardiac arrest due to being left in a hot car on Thursday.
Evan Trapolino, 3, was found in a car in north Houston in the 1200 block of Hopper Road around 2 p.m. According to police, the boy left the house and entered the car through the front door, possibly to retrieve a toy in the backseat. When he got to the backseat, he was unable to exit the vehicle due to child-safety locks."He's a beautiful baby and kid. We have great times together all the time," Efrain Lopez, Evan's grandfather, said.
The family realized he was missing and searched for his for around 30-45 minutes before finding him in the backseat. They immediately called 911 and started CPR.
"They called 911 and started doing CPR and when they loaded him into the ambulance and left they were still doing CPR," neighbor Chris Johnson, said.
No charges have been filed, but the case is still under investigation by Houston police and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
