On Wednesday, Nieves and Limuel were arrested for the above charges by the Abilene Police Department and booked into the Taylor County Jail.

The next day, the two were transferred to the Tom Green County Jail.

Nieves was being held on $1.31 million total bonds, and Limuel was being held on $1.45 million total bonds, according to online jail records, as of Tuesday.

The arrests came from events that happened on Jan. 18, 2024, when the San Angelo police were dispatched to a house in the 2000 block of Vaughn Street for a report of an unconscious child.

"When officers arrived, they located the unresponsive three-year-old male and administered life-saving measures while transporting the child to Shannon Medical Center for treatment," according to the release. "The male child was not able to be revived and later was pronounced deceased."

Detectives with the department's Crimes Against Children Unit learned the child was subjected to neglect and failure to provide adequate care and nourishment to the child, according to allegations in the release.
