NEW YORK -- Felix Herrera-Garcia, the husband of a Bronx day care owner, appeared in court Wednesday in connection to a 1-year-old child's fentanyl-related death.

Herrera-Garcia was extradited to New York and faced a judge in Lower Manhattan.

He is charged with conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death.

The 34-year-old was arrested in Mexico in September in connection with the suspected fentanyl poisoning on Sept. 15. A 1-year-old boy died and three other children were sickened.
