A 2016-2017 Case
A Lone Grove man who was babysitting a toddler when he died last month was charged with first degree murder and child neglect.

Prosecutors allege Conan Collins stomped and kicked 22-month-old Hoss Gonzales, killing him.

Police say Collins drove Gonzales to the Quik Check in Lone Grove, where is wife Brittney Collins worked.

First responders tried CPR, but it was too late.

"There were multiple blunt force trauma to the child's head that resulted in the death of the child," District Attorney Craig Ladd said.
Medical examiner Amy Elliott ruled Gonzales' death a homicide, saying the child died from blunt force trauma to the head.

Ladd says they are not charging Brittney Collins with the death of Gonzales.

Both Brittney and Conan Collins will be charged with neglect.

"The allegations are that they left their children, a three-year-old, a two-year-old and a two-month-old, without adequate supervision for a period of time earlier that morning," Ladd said.

Hoss Eduardo Gonzales - June 05, 2014 - April 20, 2016

A Lone Grove man was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder -- child abuse.

Conan Collins, 35, was sentenced for stomping and kicking 22-month-old Hoss Gonzalez, killing the toddler he was supposed to be babysitting.

Brittany Collins pleaded guilty to child neglect in January.
 
"They just don't deserve any of this," the Collins nephew Dekota Washburn said.

"Their kids have never been abused in any kind of way," Washburn said. "They are always taken care of."

Washburn says his aunt and uncle didn't commit this crime.

"My uncle and aunt are innocent," Washburn said. "Completely innocent. This is complete defamation of character, they don't deserve anything that is going on right now."

Washburn says they always took care of their children and were upset over the death of Gonzales.

"They were tore up," Washburn said. "I mean obviously, someone died. That is going to hurt anybody, and dying in their presence, that is horrible."

The only person that did not deserve any of this was Hoss.
