An egg and her pussy poker are charged after the death of a 2-year-old boy, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
Tevin Jefferson, who also went by T.J., was only two years old when he died from injuries he received at his home. Detectives said the child’s mom and her boyfriend came up with a fake story to try and cover up his death.
Johvonte Johnson, 26, could be seen shaking his head throughout the his probably cause hearing. He’s charged with injury to a child.
Prosecutors said, after initially denying any involvement, Johnson later admitted to deputies he hit T.J. several times with his hand, during potty training and that later, T.J. was knocked out after he fell and hit his head on a toilet.
During Wednesday night’s hearing, Johnson raised his hand several times, even as the attorney representing him advised him to not say anything.
The child’s mother, Darrielle Williams, 23, is charged with injury to a child because she allegedly failed to protect the boy.
She’s accused of trying to protect her boyfriend. Prosecutors said she took T.J. to the hospital, where the child died, and that she and her boyfriend made up a story about the child falling in the bathtub.
According to court documents, Texas Child Protective Services had previously interrogated the boyfriend on allegations of child abuse. Prosecutors said, despite this, the mother still left her child in Johnson’s care.
Houston-area couple charged after toddler is allegedly hit during potty training later dies
Tevin Jefferson, who also went by T.J., was only two years old when he died from injuries he received at his home.
Officials said 2-year-old Tevin Jefferson was taken to Houston Northwest Hospital by his mother, Darrielle Williams. Deputies said Tevin was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the emergency room. It was discovered Tevin had suffered trauma to the head, which was not consistent with what Williams told officials, deputies said. She said Tevin had fallen in the bathtub, deputies said.
Deputies said the mother’s boyfriend, Johvonte Johnson, who arrived at the hospital shortly after, was not reported to have been present at the time of the incident.
Investigators questioned Williams and Johnson and found that their stories were inconsistent with the facts observed during the investigation, deputies said. The couple both admitted to lying about their initial stories about Tevin falling while with his mother, according to deputies.
Deputies said Johnson, who is not the child’s biological father, told investigators that he beat the child and caused the boy to fall and hit his head, resulting in him becoming unresponsive. Deputies said Johnson took the child to his mother’s place of business where they both conspired to lie about what happened to the child.
