A Frisco woman has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for murder after a jury found her responsible for the death of her infant child. Vanessa Esquival received the sentence on June 19, according to court documents.
The conviction stems from an incident in August 2025, when police allege Esquival left her baby inside a vehicle for more than two hours while she was at work. The location was identified as the 3200 block of Preston Road in Frisco.
Authorities stated that Esquival knowingly left the infant in the car despite knowing the conditions. Police reports indicate the outside temperature reached at least 95 degrees. Additionally, officers noted that the vehicle did not have a functioning air conditioning system.
Esquival was arrested and charged with murder following the incident. The court documents confirm the final sentencing outcome, closing the legal proceedings related to the August 2025 event.
