39-year-old Eleazar Perez was arrested in Bishop Friday and is accused in the death of his 2-year-old baby boy.

The child was first found unresponsive and not breathing back on Tuesday of last week at the family's home.

Bishop Police Chief Edward Day said there is the potential for additional arrests.


"They say I'm getting locked up for murder. I don't know why," Perez said to our camera as he was led into police headquarters.


On July 11, Bishop police were called to the family's home on the 400 block of East Henderson Street. Day said it's where they found the 2-year-old unconscious and not breathing.

"Mom and dad were home at the time, there were other siblings home at the time, the initial report to the dispatch center were that the child was hit in the head accidental by a toy. Based on the injuries, that's just not plausible," Day said.

CPR was performed and first responders were able to get the child breathing. The boy was taken to Driscoll Children's Hospital in critical condition where he remained on life support, but then just days later, passed away on July 14.


An autopsy was performed and the medical examiner, based on the injuries, ruled the child's death a homicide.

"Injuries not consistent with an accident. We are looking at extensive head injuries to include fractures to the skull," Day said.
