Major new developments in the Kingsbridge Day care drug exposure tragedy. Another person has been arrested. The daycare owner's husband and police say he could be the head drug dealer. New saw Samantha Cheney is out at the 52nd police precinct and she has the very latest development. Samantha, what's new this morning? Yeah. Well, this morning, police tell us that after more than a week of searching around the clock to find him. Felix Herrera Garcia was now captured on a bus in Sinaloa Mexico and he now is the fourth person to be arrested in connection to that day care tragedy. He now joins his wife, Gray Mendez, his cousin, Carlito Acevedo Brito and a man named Renie Perez in face federal charges and up to life behind bars for narcotics distribution resulting in the death of one year old Nicholas Dominic. Police say the child victim died after being exposed to fentaNYL at El Divino Nino Daycare on Morris Avenue on September 15. 3 other Children were also poisoned that day. But court documents revealed before the owner called 911 for help. She reached out to her husband first and just moments before police arrived on the scene. This surveillance footage captured Garcia exiting the back door of the day care with shopping bags. And at this hour, we are still awaiting further detail on Garcia's arrest. But as we continue following this developing story and the police investigation to bring justice to those innocent Children, we'll be sure to keep you guys updated, but that's the latest from the 52nd precinct. I'm Samantha Cheney.

Welcome back when you hear that sound, you know what that means. We're on storm watch with storm watch team, meteorologist Christy Campana. So Christy, we know the rain is coming, but that's not all right. Yeah. No, we can't rule out any gusty winds either. And those two combined really create for a messy kind of system that's headed our way. And like we said, 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected and that majority is gonna be overnight tonight and that can create some problems for your morning commute if there is localized flooding, which like we said, we can't rule out, but let's go straight to it and see, you know, an hour by hour where the system is coming in and this is two o'clock today. So we see the system just approaching here for the afternoon and we could see some batches of heavy downpours throughout the afternoon. But the majority of this is going to be a little bit later. This is 3 p.m. We see this light to moderate rain, these yellow colors really on the outskirts of the city and then maybe a break here and there by around five o'clock your dinner time. But then the majority of this hits around 8 to 10 o'clock and we see this orange, yellow and red and this is our more moderate, steady and even heavy rain that is headed our way and that's to continue overnight for your overnight hours. And that majority of it just past 1 a.m. two AM, we see it start to get slightly lighter around then and then by 6 a.m. we see it really start to push off and push out to the ocean and it clears up just a bit. We can't rule out a lingering shower until around seven or 8 a.m. And then it clears up really by mid to late morning and we could see even the sun come back out around your mid to mid morning to afternoon before the sunset, which is a good thing, but that flooding can still stick around and that comes with these gusty winds. So sustained winds of around 15 to 20 miles an hour and this is 8, 30 twenties we're seeing and then uh change in direction. This becomes a north wind as it's passing and we could see up to 3040 miles an hour. So really take anything in outdoors and just be cautious through the next couple of days. And let's take a look at 10 day forecast. We are in storm watch overnight. We're gonna see heavy rain, gusty winds and that breezy and those gusty winds continue a bit into your Tuesday. It's gonna be breezy but the sun is out and temperatures are back to seasonable for the rest of the week.

Officials: Manhattan day care containing ghost guns, fentanyl shut down

Dropping their kids off at day care this morning. Maybe we want to, maybe we want to hug them a little tighter today after another day care tragedy in the city. Yeah, it really has, you know, people on high alert, the NYPD says more fentaNYL and ghost guns were found at a home based child care center in Manhattan yesterday. Joining us now is our news 12 Samantha Cheney who's outside the 52nd precinct with what we know so far about this latest case, Samantha Christy. Well, when parents drop their Children off at these day care centers, the least they're expecting is for them to be safe and protected. But twice this month, we've seen that just hasn't been the case. If you guys have been following our coverage over the past two weeks, you've seen that day care tragedy in Kingsbridge where four Children were exposed to fentaNYL. And now police say another day care exposed them to ghost guns in Harlem. Now this after a search warrant led NYPD officers into that day care in Harlem at 58 East 117th Street where they say they discovered fentaNYL ghost guns and parts and materials required to print 3d firearms. We're told two miners are now in custody as well as an 18 year old named Kran Coli whose mother allegedly operated that day care. They now all face a slew of charges including a criminal possession of a weapon along with manufacturing machine guns. This heartbreaking news all comes during an active investigating investigation into the Kingsbridge El Divino Nino day care where four Children were exposed to fentaNYL resulting in the death of one year old Nicholas Dominic. And it's part of an emerging trend that NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban says has captured the attention of young people. We are talking to the parents. Please check out what your kids are up to monitor the internet activities. We will also speak to those who think printing 3d guns is the wave of the future. You were wrong. The NYPD has dialed in on this trend. We will hold anyone accountable who emerged in these crimes. And Mayor Adams says the city will be doing all that it can to bring comfort to concerned parents by creating a plan that protects their Children which will include more extensive inspections into those day care centers as well as providing them with education on the red flags. They should be looking for within their own homes. That's the latest from the 52nd precinct. I'm Samantha Cheney who is
