Bruised Child Found
According to Kyle police officials upon responding to the family’s house in the 300 block of Marquitos Drive on July 4th of 2018, they discovered the toddler in the front hall. He was reportedly not breathing. Police officers witnessed wounds on his back, wounds on his left and right rib, and wounds on his forehead, stated Kyle Police Chief Jeff Barnett.
Failure of Revival
Williams, 24, and Chagoya-Williams, 20, blamed “demons” for their 21-month-old child’s death. Initial responders were making efforts to revive the child upon the arrival of the police. However, he died at their house. Hays County Justice of the Peace Beth Smith commanded an autopsy to determine the young boy’s cause of death, reported Newsweek.
