LAS VEGAS (AP) — With balloons and tears, about 100 people mourned the death of a 1-year-old girl pulled from a locked car after police broke a window to reach her on a hot, sunny day in Las Vegas.
The Tuesday evening memorial came after Sayah Deal died Monday afternoon and her father, Sidney Deal was arrested on a felony child abuse charge.
The coroner hasn't yet determined the girl's cause of death. Police say the father initially refused to let witnesses or patrol officers break the window, saying he just bought the car and didn't have repair money.
