A 3-month-old Texas girl was found dead in a submerged car — and her father was arrested in connection to the tragedy, according to a report.

Lyrik Aliyana Brown’s body was recovered Tuesday from the car seat of the vehicle in Red River in Gainesville, just hours after she went missing and an Amber Alert was issued in her disappearance, news station KVUE reported.

Police said that her father, 30-year-old Jeremy Nathaniel Brown, was next to the overturned car and pulled from the river.

“The vehicle was removed from the river and an infant was located inside the vehicle in a car seat,” police said.

Brown was then arrested on charges of assault against a family or house member, the outlet reported.

Lyrik went missing around 9 p.m. on Monday and authorities were looking for Brown in connection to her disappearance.
