UPDATE 8/22/2023 12 PM
The Omaha Police Department's Child Special Victims Unit is investigating the death of a one-year-old child at Kidz of the Future childcare on 50th and Leavenworth Street. Police say an emergency call came in at 3:06 p.m. on Monday for an unresponsive child who was left in a van.
On Tuesday, OPD announced it arrested Ryan Williams, 62, the driver of the van where the one-year-old girl was found. He is being charged with "child abuse by neglect resulting in death." OPD says Williams was a driver for the childcare center.
The little girl was taken to Nebraska Medicine with CPR in progress and later died.
A public protest took place outside the daycare center on Tuesday, which is where reporter Jill Lamkins and photojournalist Wade Lux caught up with family and friends of the girl who died.
