Tiona Lasaisha Islar, San Antonio, Texas mom arrested for causing the hot car deaths of her 2 young children, Sevani Stevenson, 6, and Miyani Islar, 3

 

A mother from San Antonio, Texas, is accused of causing her two children's deaths in a hot car after leaving them in it over the weekend.

Tiona Lasaisha Islar, 28, called 911 to report finding her two daughters, Sevani Stevenson, 6, and Miyani Islar, 3, dead in a vehicle on Saturday afternoon.

Around 3:00 p.m., Bexar County Sheriff's deputies went to a report at a home on Chancery Gate and Appleton Way on the Far West Side of Bexar County, near Alamo Ranch.

When deputies came, they attempted to save the two children until EMS arrived, according to FOX San Antonio.

Islar told law enforcement that she last saw her two children in the house before lying down to sleep around 10 a.m. During questioning, deputies came to the conclusion that information Islar gave them was ‘reportedly inconsistent.’

According to Sheriff Salazar, ‘Something is not adding up about this case’.

Explained the official, ‘The initial report was for children who were left in the car but I can tell you that unfortunately, without going into too much detail, there just are some inconsistencies with the stories at present. I’m not confident enough to tell you all that’s definitely what happened.’

Following the mother’s arrest, Islar was booked with Injury to a Child SBI/Death, KATV reported.

Investigators are still working to determine how the children died and are awaiting results from the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office on the cause and manner of death.

The whereabouts of the children’s father wasn’t immediately clear.

The sheriff’s office is encouraging neighbors who may have video between the hours of 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday in the area of Chancery Gate and Appleton Way to contact BCSO at 210-335-6000 or email [email protected].
