Ellis County sheriffs say 11-month-old child found deceased in vehicle

The Ellis County Sheriff’s Office and other emergency responders were called to the scene of an unresponsive person last Friday afternoon in the 500 block of Elm Street (Bardwell).

When deputies arrived, they located an 11-month-old female child who had been located inside of a vehicle at the property. She was not breathing.

Responding deputies responded quickly and began CPR. They continued CPR until patient care was handed over to Ellis County EMS (AMR). Medical personnel made the decision to cease CPR due to the severity of injuries. The child was declared deceased on the scene.

The Ellis County Sheriff’s Department will be conducting an investigation into the death of the child. They will be assisted by the Texas Rangers.

This is an ongoing investigation.

There was also a child located in a vehicle last week at a residence in Aubrey. The child was flown to the hospital, but died as a result of the injuries.

Unfortunately, these incidents tend to uptick as we move through the summer months. It is important to note that the investigations into both of these situations are still in progress, but it goes without saying: please pay attention to kids and always have an eye on them, whether at the pool or in the car. Texas summers are a beating, especially for the young and the old. Please keep your children safe this summer and avoid tragedy!

Area of Downtown Dallas to be blocked for building implosion Saturday morning

Officials in Dallas are warning residents, drivers, and visitors of downtown to avoid the area surrounding 505 North Ervay Street Saturday morning due to a building implosion.

A ‘Safety Zone’ has been designated surrounding the building. This zone encompasses city blocks within a boundary of North Field Street, San Jacinto Street, North St. Paul Street, and Pacific Avenue. (see map below)

Street closures will be implemented between the hours of 6am and 10am for the implosion. The implosion is expected to take place around 7:30am.

An unavoidable dust cloud will be created that should dissipate in approximately five minutes after the implosion. Residents should close windows and exterior doors during this time.

DART trains will temporarily stop service in this area for approximately 10 minutes prior to and after the implosion.

The approximately 120,000+ sq. foot building is currently owned by First Baptist Dallas.
