Felix Herrera Garcia, the husband of the owner of a New York City daycare where a 1-year-old died from fentanyl poisoning, was sentenced to 45 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal drug charges. The incident, which occurred in September 2023, resulted in the death of Nicholas Dominici and hospitalized three other children. Prosecutors revealed that Herrera Garcia was seen fleeing the daycare with bags while children suffered from fentanyl exposure. He and others had hidden over 11 kilograms of fentanyl and heroin in secret compartments beneath the playroom’s floor tiles. After the child’s death, Herrera Garcia fled to Mexico but was arrested following a weeklong manhunt. His wife, Grei Mendez, who worked at the daycare, has also been charged.
