Babysitting boyfriend indicted in death of 15-month-old boy (Frisco, Texas)

Babysitting boyfriend RANDY ALLEN BAKER has been indicted for capital murder in the death of a 15-month-old boy. The little boy died of blunt force trauma related to being shaken. Mom was at work (again, this is why we need decent child care in this country, so Moms don't have to rely on boyfriends or iffy daddies while they work to support their families.)

A Collin County grand jury indicted a Frisco man this week on a charge of capital murder in the death of a 15-month-old Frisco boy.

Mykaleb Johnson died May 24 of blunt force injuries, according to the Dallas County medical examiner's office, which ruled the death a homicide.

Randy Allen Baker, 34, shown at right, told police he had been dating the boy's mother for about four months and was watching her son that day while she was at work, according to the arrest warrant affidavit. He called police to a home in the 8400 block of Preston North, which is in a mobile-home park off Lebanon Road between Parkwood Boulevard and Preston Road on May 23 because the boy was unresponsive. Under questioning, he told police that he shook the boy multiple times. Mykaleb died the next day at Children's Medical Center Dallas.

Baker has a criminal history and spent time in prison in 1997 on an aggravated assault charge.
He is being held at the Collin County jail on $500,000 bail.
