Yusuf Dewees has been charged with the murder of his son Baki Dewees. The baby was reported missing last month, leading officials to search a landfill, but the boy's body has not yet been found.
The dad of the missing Palmdale baby, Baki Dewees, is now facing a murder charge after his infant son was presumed dead by officials last month. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced that the child's father, 24-year-old Yusef Dewees, is being charged with one count of murder, on count of assault on a child causing death and one count of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death.
"Child abuse has no place in our society and such acts of violence are beyond the pale. Children are some of the most vulnerable in our society, and every child is entitled to safety and protection as a human right. We are committed to vigorously seeking justice for the victim and their loved ones.
