“There was no gun or gunshot wound to the victim," Sergeant Washington Moscoso said, according to KENS 5 CBS. “The child did die from trauma to the body, just not a gunshot wound.”

Additionally, according to Sgt. Moscoso, a female, later determined to be Nephiterea, was allegedly "running around unclothed at the scene." She was eventually arrested and taken into custody for questioning.

According to multiple reports, citing police, Nephiterea has spent time in facilities to treat severe mental illness after being previously arrested and charged for injuries to children.

Nephiterea is currently being held on $1 million bond. It's not immediately clear if she has entered a plea or retained an attorney.

Hosanna's family told NBC News 4 San Antonio that she "played the violin, learned how to do the perfect cartwheels, and was teaching her cousins how to do it too. She loved to swim and loved the water. She wanted to be a cheerleader and ride the school bus for the first time, and she never got to do that."
