Albuquerque Police release new information about death of 1-year-old
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Police Department released new information Monday about the death of a 1-year-old who was left in a hot truck with the windows up on Sunday.
According to police, the child's parents left the 1-year-old with a relative around mid-morning. APD says they received the report about the child around 5 p.m. It's unclear how long the child was in the truck.
'I believe the person who was in care for it, realized the child was in the truck, went to the truck,' said Gilbert Gallegos, spokesperson for APD. 'I'm not sure what exactly happened at that point, or if another relative came, but at that point, the child was transferred inside the home.'
Road rage shooting suspect arrested by Albuquerque police
When first responders arrived on the scene a little after 5:30 p.m., they attempted to give CPR but were unsuccessful. Police believe the death was an accident, and the District Attorney's Office has decided not to press charges at this time, as the investigation continues.
'He was non-responsive,' Gallegos said about the child. 'He didn't have a pulse at that point, but they tried for a long time to revive the child. Unfortunately, the child died at the scene.'
APD's Crimes Against Children Unit started the investigation. Police say they're waiting for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death, which could lead to possible charges. Police believe the child was inside the truck for several hours.
Police say the relative who was watching the child did leave the scene at some point, but we don't know when and for how long. The truck where the child was found also belonged to that relative.

Florida teacher, 28, accused of sending lewd photo to middle school student via social media
A Florida middle school teacher allegedly sent a nude image of herself to a 14-year-old student, authorities said. Oliver Fell, 28, who taught at Carlos E. Haile Middle School in Brandenton, is charged with lewd conduct with a student by an authority figure and transmission of harmful material to a minor, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office said. Investigators launched a probe in March after the student reported the allegations on March 3 to a school resource deputy that Fell had been allegedly talking with the boy via Snapchat since December 2024. She allegedly sent an explicit photo of her breasts to the student on Jan. 2. The allegations were reported to the School District of Manatee County and the sheriff's office. "After obtaining a search warrant and receiving permission to access data from phones and social media accounts, detectives discovered evidence indicating that the communications led to lewd conduct involving the victim," the sheriff's office said. Fell turned herself in to authorities on Monday after a warrant was issued for her arrest. She remains in custody on a $2,500 bond. Irene Nikitopoulos, the principal at Carlos E. Haile Middle School, acknowledged the matter in a letter to parents. She said it "took several weeks of investigation to confirm the allegations of the illegal communications" and that Fell was reassigned. She said the district continues to cooperate with the investigation. Fox News Digital has reached out to the school district.

A Big, Pending Case Unites and Divides the Music Industry Over Fraud in Streaming
Hello, hello. Welcome back to Soundbite. Yesterday I spent part of the day at a conversation about fraud in the music business. It was partially put together by Katherine C. Reilly, the former head of the complex frauds and cybercrime unit for the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Previously, she helped bring the case against Michael Smith, who is accused of using generative artificial intelligence to make songs and drive streams to them to the tune of $10 million. The results of the case could set a major precedent in the streaming era. Smith's lawyers didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. During the conversation, Reilly gave some backstory on how the case came together, and the audience got a little heated over the current state of fraud prevention in the streaming world. We'll dive in. Also, my calendar is booking up pretty quickly, but if you'll be in New York next week for all the music industry and Tribeca happenings, let me know. I'd love to meet with some more people.
