A Hidalgo County jury recommended a 30-year sentence, which was initially scheduled for June 11 but has been postponed to June 17. Ortiz and the child's mother, Karina Ramirez, were arrested in June 2024 after the infant was found dead at their home on East Sam Houston Boulevard. An autopsy revealed multiple injuries and signs of decomposition. Both parents had an ongoing Child Protective Services case at the time of the incident.
