Infant found dead after being left in car in Rockwall, police say

Investigators are examining circumstances after an infant was found deceased in a vehicle; it was left unattended for an unknown duration, authorities said.

  • Heath Department of Public Safety responded around 4:40 p.m. Tuesday and found an infant dead inside a vehicle at Rockwall-Heath High School; first responders pronounced the child deceased at the scene.
  • Investigators say the child had been left earlier at a home on the 100 block of Sunfish Road, Rockwall, and police believe a caregiver recently responsible failed to drop her at a local daycare after taking his common-law wife to Rockwall-Heath High School.
  • Police identified the victim as a 6-month-old baby girl, but Rockwall Police Department investigators say it is unclear how long she remained in the vehicle.
  • Detectives obtained a warrant and arrested Camerone Leichman, who was booked into Rockwall County Detention Center and faces Injury to a Child, a second-degree felony, with bond not set as of Wednesday morning.
  • Officials have not yet released further details as the investigation continues, with the Rockwall Police Department Criminal Investigation Division leading the probe and withholding the infant's identity or potential charges.
