A 33-year-old Texas man was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of his newborn son who was found dead in a motel on Tuesday.
Police arrested Jamal Edward Robertson and charged him with “injury to a child and serious bodily injury” days after his baby son was found dead at a Motel 6.
Officers and first responders rushed to the Motel at 15101 Katy Freeway at approximately 3 p.m. over reports of an “unresponsive baby boy.”
The victim was taken to the Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators said that the victim, who was just one month old, suffered injuries and took a person into custody at the scene before Robertson’s arrest.
“Robertson, the child’s father, was detained and subsequently charged in the incident,” police added.
