According to Houston Government Newsroom, the culprit called the paramedics from his own house to go to the 4400 block of Yellowstone after he claimed that he found his own child unconscious. The paramedics then arrived at the place and noticed all the marks of injuries on different parts of the baby's body.
The baby was declared dead a few minutes after their attempt to rescue. Pre-autopsy results said that the baby died from blunt force trauma.
The autopsy also showed new injuries from the baby, which involved some broken ribs while old bruises included the child's brain was said to have bled. Reports also stated that baby Prince's death occurred when his brain stem was finally cut off due to all the trauma it went.
The father then admitted he murdered his own son telling the police he actually shook his baby first before hitting him. After his deposition, state District Judge Michael McSpadden ordered the suspect to be held without bail at Harris County jail.
Murdering a child whose age is below ten years old means he could serve life in prison without parole should he be found guilty of the crime. Aside from that, the DA's office in Harris County could even fight for a death penalty.
