MIAMI, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Prosecutors in Miami say they plan to bring murder charges against a young man for allegedly fatally punching his 2-year-old son in the face.
Lee Willie DeJesus, 22, of Homestead, has been held on a charge of aggravated child abuse since his arrest this week, the Miami Herald Reported. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office expects to file a second-degree murder charge Monday, a spokesman, Ed Griffith, said.
The charges may be upgraded to first-degree murder when a grand jury sits on the case, Griffith said.
Griffith said Willie Brown died Thursday afternoon after being removed from a ventilator at Children's Hospital in Miami. He had been brain dead since Monday. UPI
