Ruiz is the second person arrested in connection with Urbina's death. Karen Silva was arrested on Friday for her involvement.

Brownsville police have confirmed Ruiz and Silva were employees at the daycare and were the last ones to use the van Urbina was found in.

Silva was charged with injury to a child causing death and is currently out on bond. Cameron County jail records show Ruiz remains in custody as of Tuesday night. 

According to Cameron County Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Mary Esther Sorola, two daycare employees took children from the daycare, including Urbina, on a field trip on Friday morning. They returned at around 11:30 a.m., and forgot Urbina in the van.
