A McKinney woman is facing capital murder charges following the death of her three-year-old son, who sustained severe injuries in October. Prosecutors have elevated the charges against both the mother and the child’s father from previous counts to capital murder.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the mother was aware that her boyfriend was repeatedly injuring the toddler. The document alleges she failed to remove the child from the situation or obtain medical care for the injuries. The affidavit does not specify the exact nature of the injuries or the timeline of the abuse beyond the October incident.
Further details regarding the legal proceedings or the specific circumstances leading to the toddler's death were not provided in the initial report.
