A Bronx daycare owner and her husband were convicted of murder Friday for causing the death of a 22-month-old baby from fentanyl exposure – a verdict little Nicholas Dominici’s mom called “justice.”

Jurors deliberated in Bronx Supreme Court for four days before convicting the couple of second-degree murder for showing “depraved indifference” by hiding fentanyl under the floor boards of the Divino Niño Daycare where children took naps at the Kingsbridge daycare.

“We don’t have our child. We still have our empty space and it will be empty for the rest of our lives… but we have justice, the justice that Nicholas deserves,” Zoila Dominici said minutes after the jury found Grei Mendez and her drug dealing partner Felix Herrera Garcia guilty.

“Thanks Nicholas… in heaven,” the heartbroken mom added through a Spanish interpreter, before breaking down in tears.

Three other children were also poisoned in the tragic Sept. 15, 2023 episode — including a 2-year-old boy who was rushed to the hospital and narrowly avoided death after being revived with the opioid overdose drug Narcan, authorities said.

Mendez, 37, and Herrera Garcia, 38, were each separately charged in Manhattan federal court for Nicholas’ senseless killing, and received sentences of 45 years in prison a piece after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute narcotics resulting in death and other charges.

They now face up to life in prison in the state case on the murder charges and separate assault raps in connection with the poisoning.

Nicholas’ parents had urged Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark to take the case all the way to trial though the feds did not, and Friday’s guilty verdict came after jurors heard roughly two months of harrowing testimony.

Nicholas’ dad, Otoniel Feliz, hailed the final outcome.

“At this point, we have justice by the federal government, the Bronx court and Justice Department. This is what we looking for. We [are] looking for justice for Nicholas,” he told reporters.

“Nicholas was a happy child at home, looking for a place to stay safe, to learn, to play when us his parents [were] looking for a better future for him, but this happened,” he said.

Grei Mendez was convicted of murder as well, and both her and her husband now face up to life in prison.

“Those people (were) evil. Those people (were), you know, careless about human life… they were indifferent to the life of my son, Nicholas. They were depraved.”

Clark told reporters outside court Friday night that “this is a great day.”

“This is justice for the families,” the DA said. “You send your kids to daycare. You expect them to learn and have fun and never expect that they never come home.”
