DETROIT -- A 29-year-old Huron Township woman was arraigned on several murder charges in connection with the burning death of her two young children in a mobile home fire.

Magistrate Allen Hindman of the 34th District Court arraigned Sharon Hinojosa from a hospital bed at about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday on two counts of first -and- second-degree murder as well as arson of a dwelling Tuesday. If convicted, she faces life in prison.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worth said Hinojosa was hospitalized after she drank rubbing alcohol.

Hindman did not set bail for Hinojosa. Also, no preliminary date was set.

A judge has granted Hinojosa's lawyer's request for a gag order in the case. A gag order will prevent anyone involved in the criminal case from talking about it.

"Anybody on the jury that is a mom, a grandma a dad, they are going to feel the same way I do. Why?" said nearby resident Wilma Wamsher.

Hinojosa was arrested Saturday, a day after her children were killed in her boyfriend's Huron Township trailer home on Clairet Street.

Hinojosa escaped the fire with her 1-year-old son, Aiden. Neighbors were unable to save 4-year-old Anthony Hinojosa and 3-year-old Alayna Hinojosa.

"Most of us, the parents we all know, would run into a firing inferno to save their children and not act as this defendant allegedly did," said Worthy.

Worthy said she believes Sharon Hinojosa intentionally left the two children that were not fathered by her boyfriend, Jason Whistler, behind.

"Me and my wife, she can't have kids, we would have taken those kids, no problem," said neighbor Joseph Dickes. "All she had to do was ask. It didn't have to come to that."

Howard Caudill, the father of 4 year-old victim Anthony Hinojosa, spoke out Tuesday for the first time since the tragedy.

"You can't imagine what I'm going through. It's just terrible," Caudill said. "(Anthony) was full of life, funny and smart and full of life, and so was Alayna. It ain't all about Anthony. It's about her too. Them babies, they found them together and they'll be together for eternity."

When asked about the charges against Anthony's mother, Sharon Hinojosa, Caudill said, "You're a sick person to do something like that, a very sick person. Them babies didn't deserve that; they didn't deserve that."

The community was in disbelief Tuesday after hearing that the children's mother was charged in connection with their deaths.

"I think she deserves it. I think it's a shame what she did to her children… It's just sickening," said neighbor Linda Page.

Neighbor Jim Quillan said that after Sharon Hinojosa escaped the fire around 3:15 a.m. Friday she banged on his door for help.

Quillan said he and another neighbor ran over to the home and began breaking out windows in an attempt to save the children.

"When we busted the windows, we could hear the kids screaming. It was bad," Quillan said. "There was so much smoke and fire, we couldn't get them out. It was devastating. To know those kids were in there and we couldn't get them out."

"As a mother, I can't imagine how it must have been for those two children to lose their lives in that firing inferno as they burned to death," said Worthy. "It has to be one of the worst ways to die."

Quillan claims that Sharon Hinojosa intentionally misled him and other neighbors who were trying to save the children from the flames.

“If she would have told us the right window from the get-go, we would probably have those kids here today,” said Quillan.

Prosecutors said they believe Sharon Hinojosa acted alone and nobody else was involved in the arson.

Anthony and Alayna Hinojosa will be buried together. Visitation for the children will be Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Voran Funeral Home. The service will be Thursday at 11 a.m. at the funeral home.

A memorial fund at the Bank of America in Taylor has been set up to help the family pay for the children's funeral. Money can be sent to the Alayna and Anthony Hinojosa fund.

Funds for the burial are being collected at the Leo's Coney Island on Telegraph Road in Taylor, Mich.
