On Thursday, Newport News police arrested Darius Brown, 22, and charged him with the murder of his girlfriendâs 17-month-old son. He was watching the little boy while his mother was at work.
According to the arrest warrant, Brown called 911 and when officers arrived at the Aqua Vista Apartments, they found the child âlying face up on the bed, unresponsive, cold to the touch and had no pulse.â
Brown told police that the child became âunsteady on his feet, falling asleep and not being able to stay awake.â
Police said there were obvious injuries on the boyâs tiny body. The cause of death is listed as head trauma and blunt force abdominal trauma.
While court documents indicate Brown refused to answer the officerâs question, as to when he last saw the child, the following disturbing events were recorded in the report: [Brown] âhad taken videos of the childâ¦showing how the child had been acting and was insistent that Officer T.E. Byers review them. Officer T.E. Byers observed the videos depicting the child, J.G. 01-29-2009 unsteady on his feet and falling to the ground. Officer T.E. Byers continued watching the videos and the condition of child, J.G. 01-29-2009 to worsen with each video.â
The video, was taken on Brownâs cell phone.
The boyâs 5-year-old sister was also home at the time, but was unhurt.
Brown is being held in the Newport News City Jail on one count of murder and four counts of malicious assault.
