The children were found Thursday in the SUV along a busy thoroughfare in the city’s northwest.

Police said they received a phone call around 10 a.m. that led them to the vehicle, which was stopped. The man was arrested outside the vehicle.

Court records say the children were killed a day earlier.

Police haven’t said how the children died but autopsies were scheduled for later Friday.

Officers are looking for witnesses who can provide additional information in the case.

The accused is set to appear in court Monday for a bail hearing.
