HOUSTON — (AP) - The operator of a Houston day care where four
children died in a fire is now facing more charges in connection
with the deadly blaze.

Court documents made public Wednesday show prosecutors have
filed three new charges of abandoning a child against Jessica Tata.
 

The 22-year-old had earlier this week been charged with reckless
injury to a child.

Prosecutors say they plan on filing six additional charges of reckless injury to a child.

The Feb. 24 blaze at the home day care facility also injured
three other children.
 

Investigators say surveillance video shows Tata had left the
children alone and was shopping at a nearby store when the fire
started.
 

Authorities say Tata has fled to Nigeria and they are working to
locate her.
