The El Paso District Attorney's office said Adrian Amaya pleaded guilty to one count of murder and two counts of injury to a child on March 5. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison.
Amaya, now 31, was arrested back in 2018 for the death of Remmy Piria, then 3 years old. His little brother, then one, had injuries to his face. Amaya was babysitting the boys while their mother was at work.
Amaya waived all appeals related to his convictions as part of the plea agreement.
The 3-year-old boy who died after he was left in the care of a man while the boy's mother was at work died as a result of "multiple blunt injuries," a criminal complaint affidavit obtained by ABC-7 states.
Police said Amaya called 911 to report the boy he was caring for, identified in court documents as Remmy Piria, was having trouble breathing after the boy fell earlier in the day and hit his head and ribs on a brick fireplace.

Paramedics rushed the boy to a hospital, where he died. "The victim had visible bruising on his head and on his body that were suspicious," a police detective wrote in the affidavit.

In the autopsy report, the El Paso County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of the boy's death as "multiple blunt injuries, including compression of the neck and paraaortic soft tissue hemorrhage."
When detectives interviewed the boy's mother, identified in court documents as Stephanie Hernandez, the woman showed the investigators text messages she received from Amaya. In the messages, Amaya allegedly apologized for what happened to the boy and "stated what happened to he victim was his fault," the criminal complaint states.

The affidavit does not state the nature of the relationship between the boy's mother and Amaya. When Amaya was interviewed by police, he told investigators he was taking care of the boy while the boy's mother was at work.
Amaya allegedly told police the boy defecated on himself while he was being potty trained, "which required cleanup and subsequent discipline," the document states. The affidavit does not mention how the boy was disciplined.

Further, Amaya allegedly told investigators he fed the boy and took him into a room for a nap because the boy "became cranky" after he was jumping on a couch and fell onto the brick fireplace.

After checking on the boy, Amaya realized the boy needed medical attention and called the boy's mother and his own cousin before calling 911, the court document states. Amaya's cousin is identified in the document as Esteban Galvez.
