Former SEC football player charged with murder in Gwinnett
10:44 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, 2015

Gwinnett County police have charged a former Southeastern Conference football player with murder in connection with the death of a 4-year-old boy.

Steven Terrence Singleton, a former football standout at Buford High School and college player at both LSU and South Carolina, was booked into the Gwinnett County jail around 5 p.m. Wednesday. Online records showed the 26-year-old was being held without bond on charges of felony murder and first-degree cruelty to children.

Arrest warrants obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution accused Singleton of “inflicting fatal brain injuries” against a youngster named Tye Hardin on Saturday.

In the last several days, Singleton posted multiple times on Facebook about the same child, a 4-year-old boy he called his “little buddy.” A GoFundMe.com page set up for that child’s mother said the youngster passed away Monday after “a head injury that (left) him in the hospital on life support, brain dead.”

The evil mom charged with smothering her 1-year-old son to death in a midtown burger chain’s bathroom last month told cops shortly after her arrest “I don’t deserve to live,” according to newly released court papers.

“Am I going to get life in prison?” Latisha Fisher axed a detective at Midtown South Precinct hours after the alleged killing inside of 5 Boro Burger March 30. ”I don’t deserve to live. That was a baby.”

Fisher, who was arraigned Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court on one count of strangulation, sobbed as prosecutors described the tragic incident.

The worker had found Fisher, “sitting on the closed toilet seat, crying and rocking the child,” said Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Clerkin. “ [Gavriel] was foaming at the mouth and his eyes rolled back.”

Fisher, 35, allegedly told police, “the devil made me do it,” and demonstrated how she suffocated little Gavriel Ortiz-Fisher by cupping her hands over the boy’s mouth to stop his crying, according to the court papers.

Defense lawyer Bryan Konoski argued that although Fisher was deemed mentally fit for trial, her doctor noted she had “demonstrated active psychosis symptoms.”

Additional charges could be added once the medical examiner determines the cause of death, prosecutors said.

The 1-year-old child was found with foam coming out of his nose and mouth at a restaurant near Penn Station on Monday.

A 36-year-old man from Gibson is accused of attacking his girlfriend multiple times, causing the death of their unborn child, authorities said today.

Tyson Dewayne Cheavis, of 188 Jimmy's Trailer Court, confessed Tuesday to hitting his 27-year-old girlfriend despite being aware of her pregnancy, Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said.

The multiple injuries she sustained over several weeks, which included bruises, swelling and unconsciousness, ultimately led to the baby's death, the sheriff said in a news release. A hospital exam revealed the child had no heartbeat.

Physicians confirmed that the victim was in her second trimester at the time of the baby's death. The child's gender is unknown at this time.

Mother arrested in case of baby found in trash compactor
6:15 p.m. CDT May 5, 2015

SLIDELL, La. -- A 22-year-old woman who had hidden her pregnancy from family and friends has been charged in the death of the child, whose body was found in an apartment complex trash compactor Monday.

Antwonetta Jones was booked with second-degree murder.

Slidell Police Chief Randy Smith said Jones delivered the baby in a bathtub and that a short time later it began choking and died. He said Jones told them she got scared and when the child stopped breathing, she put her in a box and brought it to the trash compactor.

Coroner Charles Preston said the child was a full-term six-pound baby girl with no injuries and had likely been alive for 4-12 hours. Had Jones gotten help the baby likely would have been fine. She is being charged for not seeking help that likely would have assured the child had lived.

KANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -

A 36-year-old woman faces new charges of murder after her youngest child was found dead in the mother's apartment.

Marie J. Chishahayo have been charges with second-degree murder in addition to four counts of child abuse or neglect.

The new charges come after a Jackson County medical examiner ruled her 2-year-old's death a homicide.

According to court records, police were called to an apartment complex at East 13th and Vine streets on March 5 on reports of a burned child.

A 2-year-old girl was found dead and her 3-year-old sister was taken to the Children's Mercy Hospital. Two other children, who are 9 years old and 5 months old, were also found inside the apartment.

The mother, according to court records, told police initially, that she had not hit the children. But she said the 9-year-old child had hit the children to punish them. She said he told her that he heated a knife and burned one of the children all over the child's body. She said she allowed him to do this because God had told him to do so.

Upon further questioning she said she had hit both children, using a long plastic rod on one. And she said she had hit the other because the child would not get out of bed.

Court documents said the mother admitted to the police that the 9-year-old boy did most of the abuse. She said she saw him pick up the girl later found dead and throw her into the wall several times Thursday morning.

Fort Worth father arrested in fatal beating of 2-year-old son

FORT WORTH

A Fort Worth man was arrested Thursday afternoon on a capital murder warrant, accused of fatally injuring his 2-year-old son last month, then not seeking help for the unresponsive boy for more than four hours.

Court documents allege Demarcus Trishun Taylor sent a message on April 22 to his girlfriend via Facebook, telling her that his son, Kamron Tremon Taylor, was unresponsive and not acting normal — and even sent her a video of the injured boy.

About four and a half hours after getting the message, Taylor’s girlfriend arrived home at their apartment the 3200 block of Polo Club Drive North and called 911.

The toddler was taken by ambulance to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, where medical personnel determined he had suffered a skull fracture and burns to his lower body.

He also had healing rib fractures, grab marks on his forearm, belt or similar patterned marks across his back and a bruise under his left eye, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Kamron died two days later, on April 24, from what the Tarrant County medical examiner later determined was blunt force trauma of the head, the affidavit states.

Father’s account changed

Kamron had been living with his father and the father’s girlfriend for at least a month before he was injured, according to the affidavit.

When interviewed on the day his son was hospitalized, Taylor told crimes against children Detective B.S. Banes that he had been home alone with Kamron all day and saw the boy urinate on the living room floor.

He said he had scolded Kamron and told him to get in a corner when the boy suddenly collapsed on the carpet and became unresponsive. He then put the boy in the tub and turned on the shower to attempt to revive him, unintentionally running hot water over the boy’s body for about 20 seconds before realizing it, according to the affidavit.

East Haven Mom Charged With Children's Murder

6/10/15

An East Haven, Connecticut, mother has been charged with the murders of her two young children, who were found in the family's home last Tuesday.

Police said they have obtained an arrest warrant charging LeRoya Moore, 36, of Strong Street in East Haven, with two counts of murder and three counts of reckless endangerment in the first degree in connection with the deaths of her children, Aleisha Moore, 6, and Daaron Moore, 8.

Mother Of Children Found Dead Had Prior Abuse Conviction

The mother of two children found dead in an East Haven home Tuesday was convicted of child abuse and had two other children removed from her custody in 2006 after police said she repeatedly beat her 4-year-old daughter with the handle of a sponge mop, according to court documents and state child protection officials.

It was the second child endangerment-related conviction for LeRoya Moore within five years. In 2001, Moore, who at the time went by her maiden name White, was convicted of reckless endangerment, a charge that had been reduced from a more serious charge of risk of injury to a minor, court records show.

BREAKING: Family member says DHS was called several times before 2-year-old was killed
Posted: Jun 14, 2015 1:19 PM PST
Updated: Jun 14, 2015 1:54 PM PST

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) -

In an exclusive interview with WMC Action News 5, an anonymous family member has revealed information about the past of Raven Campbell, the mother who was charged with neglect and abuse after her 2-year-old son Jermyle died yesterday.

The family member said DHS has given them the baby at least three times and Raven had left Jermyle on her stoop more than once.

The family member said they went to court in December to attempt to gain custody of the child, but the judge granted Campbell custody.

The family member said Raven told them from the day Jermyle was born, she did not want him and wanted to kill him and be free.

They said the only reason she kept the baby is because the grandmother wanted her to and she wanted the benefits.

They also said the mother and grandmother used to beat the child with extension cords so he would go to bed.

Several family members are said to have called DHS multiple times, and the daycare also called because he would come home with dirty clothes, could tell he had not eaten and he had bed bugs.

The family member also said Raven is a prostitute and would leave the baby with her 10-year-old brother.

The case is still under investigation.

HOUSTON – A Houston man has confessed to the 2014 murder of a 2-year-old girl.

Navaeh Cornwall died last July after she was scalded in a bathtub.

Charles Gipson confessed to killing her Wednesday and was charged with murder.

Gipson told investigators his girlfriend was babysitting the little girl the day she died. When the 2-year-old urinated on the floor, Gipson dunked her in scalding hot water twice to punish her.

The child died so Gipson and his girlfriend decided to make up a story because they were afraid CPS would take their own child away. They told investigators that Navaeh had crawled into the tub on her own.
