NEW: San Jose teen charged with murder after he allegedly r*ped and strangled a 2-year-old baby with a hair tie in the foster home they lived in.
Baby Jaxon Juarez's mother sadly died last July due to kidney and liver failure.
Jaxon was placed into foster care with his aunt following his mother's passing.
Jaxon was later placed with a foster family, whom the aunt claims she had concerns with because the foster mother had a prior conviction for felony child endangerment.
Police found Jaxon unresponsive in his crib at the foster home with "several suspicious traumatic injuries."
3 days later, the police arrested the 17-year-old child of the foster mother. The teen is reportedly Jaxon's cousin.
"In addition to murder, prosecutors also charged the suspect with nine new felony charges, including child ass*ult causing death and assault with a hair tie," said the DA’s Office.
"Multiple counts of s*xual assault – including forced s*domy – have already been filed against the suspect."
"Evidence showed that the child … had been repeatedly assaulted, s*xually and physically, since he was placed in the foster family home in February."
Absolutely horrific. Death penalty.
my TL all over the place 😂 some people barely getting home, some people leaving for work, some on the way to the gym, and some up feeding their babies 😂
I tend to not text back when I’m not in an ok mood. this could last from hours to days. I don’t care if you see me on social media ... I don’t want conversation.
