A 23-year-old Donna man was charged with capital murder Monday morning after the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office identified him as the individual responsible for the abuse and death of his 3-year-old daughter.

Jose Manuel Uresti on Saturday at the Anzalduas International Bridge in connection with the death of his daughter, according to the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office. 

A judge didn't issue a bond for Uresti.

As previously reported, the sheriff's office responded to a report of an unresponsive child Thursday at the 9700 block of Klarrisa Drive in rural Donna. An investigation revealed the three-year-old girl suffered extensive injuries indicating prolonged abuse. An autopsy report revealed she died from blunt force trauma, and her death was ruled a homicide.

"Uresti is responsible for the abuse and death of his 3-year-old daughter," the sheriff’s office said in a news release announcing his arrest. 

The mother, 25-year-old Wendy Sarai Rivera, was arraigned on Friday after the sheriff’s office said she admitted to knowing about the injuries and failing to report them. She was issued a $2.5 million bond.

Jail records show Rivera remains in custody.

Uresti’s arraignment will be followed by a press conference by the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office Monday, Nov. 25 at 11 a.m.
