36-year-old Adreian Hooper is facing a litany of charges after the July 14th incident which claimed the life of one child and left the other in critical condition. The high temperature that day was 91° and the low temperature was 72°. This created an internal vehicle temperature of nearly 140°. 


According to reports, first responders were called after 2 children were found inside of a car on the 1200 block of Illinois Avenue in Fairfield. Once on scene they recovered a 1-year-old and 2-year-old child from the vehicle. The small children were rushed to the Fairfield Memorial Hospital where the 1-year-old was pronounced deceased. The 2-year-old child had to be airlifted to a trauma center due to his critical condition. 


Fairfield Police Department requested the help of ISP to assist in the investigation. On July 16th, the Wayne County States Attorney charged Hooper with Involuntary manslaughter, endangering the life of a child involving death, reckless misconduct and a misdemeanor charge of endangering the life of a child.


Adreian Hooper is being held in Wayne County Jail. She was denied a motion for pretrial release this morning.
