Investigators said that there were four victims in total, including Pulgar.

The fire had caused significant damage to the home and caused a quick response by first responders.

The Fulshear Police Department said that two of the children were able to escape with minor injuries; however, a three-year-old was trapped. Officers reportedly heard faint sounds coming from one of the bedrooms and entered through a window before rescuing the child.

The three-year-old was airlifted to the hospital after suffering severe smoke inhalation but has since been released.

Pulgar did sustain injuries during the fire, suffering burns to his face. He was released from the hospital nearly a month later. Law enforcement then took him into custody at the Fort Bend County Jail.

According to officials, his bond totals $2.25 million after a judge set $750,000 for each charge.
