Five things to know about Nickolle Aguilar’s sentencing

SAN ANTONIO – A mother charged in the death of her five-year-old son is expected to be sentenced Tuesday afternoon in a Bexar County court.

Nickolle Aguilar is charged with injury to a child-serious bodily injury by omission.

Aguilar, along with her then-boyfriend Daniel Garcia, were both charged in the death of Domenic Aguilar-Acevedo.

Garcia was found guilty back in May of injury to a child and is currently waiting on his own sentencing date.

Aguilar plead guilty to the charge in June.

Here are five things to know about Tuesday’s Nickolle Aguilar sentencing:

• The sentencing was previously withdrawn because of her status as US a resident.
• Aguilar had accepted the plea deal in exchange for her testimony against then-boyfriend Daniel Garcia.
• An affidavit states Garcia struck Domenic so hard that he hit the wall of a San Antonio hotel room before bouncing on the floor. The next day, Domenic passed away.
• Garcia was found guilty and is currently waiting his own sentencing date in August.
• Authorities said Garcia and Aguilar drove to Colorado, where they buried Domenic’s body before fleeing to Costa Rica with Garcia’s daughter.

Aguilar will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. this afternoon.

KSAT 12 will livestream the sentencing on all of our streaming platforms.
