A 15-year-old Midland High School student is in a Dallas hospital after her family says she was beaten and sexually assaulted Tuesday afternoon.

A family member tells CBS7 that the girl was found dumped in a yard.

She reportedly has a major head injury and fluid on the brain. We’re also told she’s been taken off life support and has had a heart attack.

We reached out to a Midland city spokesperson who told us, “To the extent that there may be a criminal investigation involving sexual assault of a child, the City is unable to comment or confirm any information.”

The family member says police interviewed multiple suspects, but no one has been arrested.
