Andrew Lynn Garza has been charged with capital murder in the death of his newborn son nearly a year after the infant was found dead in Royse City.

The 20-year-old father is accused of killing three-week-old Jonah Jesus Garza on Nov. 24, 2024.

The Hunt County Sheriff’s Office responded to the reported death of an infant at a residence on Mesa Court in Royse City. The child was transported to Children’s Hospital in Dallas where the he was later pronounced deceased. An autopsy was conducted by the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.

In July 2024, he was indicted and arrested on a charge of injury to a child by criminal negligence. That charge stemmed from an October 2023 incident that occurred while he was living in unincorporated Royse City. He was booked into jail on July 1, 2024 with bond set at $150,000 and released the following month.

Authorities have not released additional details about the circumstances of the child’s death but the case was investigated over the past nine months before the indictment was secured.
