A 5-year-old child drowned in a residential pool in northeast Houston on Monday afternoon, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Deputies responded just before 2 p.m. to the 900 block of Nancy Rose Street, where the child was found unresponsive in a neighbor’s pool, Gonzalez said.
“We are deeply saddened to share that a child lost their life in a drowning incident today,” Gonzalez said in a post to X.
The child reportedly left their home unattended, according to Gonzalez, who said crime scene investigators and detectives were responding to the scene.
This is a developing story.
