- A 1-year-old boy died and three other young children were hospitalized after exposure to fentanyl at a Bronx daycare center, with the owner and a tenant facing murder charges.
- The owner called the tenant before dialing 911 when the children were found unresponsive, and the owner's husband removed bags from the facility before emergency responders arrived.
- Investigators found fentanyl stored on top of children's playmats at the daycare, as well as drug packaging equipment and additional drugs hidden under a trap door.
- The suspects, who allegedly ran a drug distribution operation from the daycare, were initially charged in state court but now also face federal narcotics charges.
- Authorities are calling for stricter oversight and safety regulations for daycare facilities to prevent similar tragedies involving exposure to dangerous substances like fentanyl.
