A Pasadena man has been charged with the brutal murder in the November 2020 death of his 6-week-old son.
Paramedics rushed him to HCA Houston Healthcare Southeast Hospital, and then he was airlifted to Texas Children’s Hospital.
He died on Nov. 20. The autopsy, performed two days later, showed the newborn died of multiple blunt force injuries and his death was ruled a homicide. Medical records from Texas Children's Hospital show the baby suffered head trauma, cerebral edema, anoxic brain injury, subdural hemorrhage, left and right parietal skull fracture, multiple rib fractures, right femoral fracture, right superior pubic ramus fracture, and S4 vertebral fracture.Father charged in death of 1-month-old son found unresponsive in motel
According to the documents, a doctor who specializes in child abuse pediatrics says the injuries were "consistent with kicking, stomping and/or throwing of the complainant and the injuries did not necessarily indicate shaking. Furthermore, the injuries were consistent with an impact or crush type injury with or against a blunt object or with a crushing force."
The findings were inconsistent with what Whitaker told Pasadena police. He reported that he was feeding his baby, but he didn't seem to want to eat. So he burped him. Then Whitaker says he took his newborn to the bathtub, but he became unresponsive.
