Police arrested a 23-year-old Downey man Friday on suspicion of murder after a 6-year-old boy died Thursday night at a Long Beach hospital.

Tyler D’Shaun Martin-Brand, an acquaintance of the child’s mother, was taken into custody and charged with murder in connection with the death of Dayvon Taylor of Long Beach.

“My son’s mother let her guard down so that this man had too much time with my child, and didn’t really know nothing about him,” Dayon’s father said Friday. “I wish I could have did more for my son, but unfortunately I was in the blind.”

According to police, Dayvon was taken to St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach Thursday around 6 p.m. and died shortly after he arrived. The coroner’s office determined the death was a homicide.

How often does a person admit their fault in the child's death.. I have some respect for him...

.. brought to a Long Beach hospital with severe injuries, officials said. Police did not disclose where or how the boy was injured..

Martin-Brand was the boy's coach at Normandie Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles, the father said.

"This is a senseless act by a person who calls himself a coach," Nicholson said. "All I know is that this guy exaplained that he was trying to chastise my son."

Saying in a thuggish way that he had no knowledge his son was being left alone with a virtual stranger isnt admitting fault.
It's simply stating , he didnt know.

Because he didn't pay much attention to his son. No sympathy from me.
Over and over on DD we see statements from absentee fathers who claim they are heart broken after, but didn't visit often enough to notice bruises.
 
Im thinking the Dad was in the kids life. I mean they immediately called him doesnt sound like an absentee father there. Perhaps Dad was out working and only knew this guy as the coach at the kids school. My Dad lived in the home and was still an absentee father. My Mom knew who our coaches were and was the one who brought us to practices and games. But... now onto the serious question. He is a freaking coach at an elementary school. how many more kids were being abused?
 
Dad is a fucking middle age man with grey hair on his balls.

He did not give a shit about his child in life, he should stop acting like he cares in death.

Here's dad getting sympathy

Different day and age.. coaches wouldn't be picking up my kids..
 
Family members gathered in Inglewood Saturday to lay to rest a 6-year-old South Los Angeles boy who was allegedly beaten to death by a man described as an elementary school coach last month.

Dayvon "DayDay" Taylor was in the care of 23-year-old Tyler D'Shaun Martin-Brand when he suffered injuries that ultimately led to his death later in the day at a hospital, according to Downey Police Department officials and prosecutors.

The child had been in Martin-Brand's care for several days over the holiday break, prosecutors said. Family members described him as Taylor's coach at Normandie Avenue Elementary School in South Los Angeles, where Taylor was a 1st-grade student. Downey police described the suspect as an "acquaintance" of the child's mother. Prosecutors described him as the boy's godfather.

Dayvon Taylor's small casket was adorned with a photo of the boy, as well as colorful characters from the popular video game "Fortnite."

"My son had a lot of love, a lot of love. And it's really touching that he can't be here to see it," father David Nicholson said.

"I loved my son to death. That boy got everything he wanted," said his mother, Kenya Taylor.

Martin-Brand faces charges of murder and assault on a child causing death.

An LA school district has launched a probe after a former sports coach, 23, befriended a six-year-old boy and beat him to death on Boxing Day.

Tyler Martin-Brand, a former Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) after-school program coach, was charged in late December with the murder of Dayvon Taylor, 6, after he was found 'severely' beaten at the suspect's apartment the day after Christmas Day.

Martin-Brand met Dayvon and befriended his family when he worked as a coach at Normandie Elementary in 2018.

Dayvon's mother, Kenya Taylor, made the alleged killer her son's godfather and previously told how he would take the boy to movies and on play dates.

Prosecutors said Martin-Brand had been looking after Dayvon over the Christmas holidays when he 'severely' beat him.

The heartbroken family are now demanding answers from the school district around why he had been allowed to work closely with children.

'I don't know how this man was able to work with children and do what he has done to my nephew,' Virginia Sewell, the victim's great aunt told ABC7 Eyewitness News.

'Justice needs to be served.'

The LAUSD said it had not known Martin-Brand continued to contact the boy and his mother after he stopped working at the school.

'Los Angeles Unified will conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine the extent to which Mr. Martin-Brand violated our policy pertaining to non-school-hour access and association with students,' LAUSD said in a statement.

Other families in the community have since come forward with reports that the school coach was violent with their children.

'We want to know why he was still allowed to work at school and why wasn't those incidents of violence reported by school administrators,' said Najee Ali of Project Islamic Hope.

Wonder if he attempted to mess with the boy.

The family needs to all blame the mother. Maybe I am wrong but it seems the boy was with this man for a prolonged period- why?

Why was he not with his father or any of these outraged relatives.
