Man Charged With Murder Of 2-Year-Old Son
5:14 p.m. CDT, July 27, 2011
NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO ( KPLR )— A man is charged with the murder of his 2-year-old son. At 8:40am Tuesday the man accused of murdering his child called for help. He told police two-year-old son fell and was injured and nearly unconscious.
But it turns out only part of that story was true. When police and the ambulance crew arrived at this home in the 2500 block of Carousel court in North St. Louis county they found 2-year old Jamal Reed having difficulty breathing and he was unresponsive.
The father, 23-year-old Ramond Woods had been babysitting the child for its mother. The father claimed 2-year-old Jamal fell from his high chair. The baby was rushed to De Paul hospital but did not survive. Based on his injuries doctors and the police did not believe his father's story.
"It was at that time that we talked to the father and took his statement and presented it to the prosecuting attorney's office and the issued the warrant for murder in the second degree." said Rick Eckhard of the St. Louis County Police.
According to the criminal complaint Ramond Woods admits to punching the child in the stomach twice. An autopsy showed the baby died from blunt force trauma. The autopsy also shows Jamal was badly bruised with broken ribs hemorrhaging throughout his body and a lacerated liver.
A next door neighbor heard all the police activity but she wasn't sure what had happened until much later. Police say no one else was home at the time and that the house actually belongs to a relative of the father.
The father is being held on a $250,000 cash only bond.
