Teen Charged With Capital Murder in Fatal Beating of 20-Month-Old

On July 20, Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to a call in the 4500 block of Cowan and found 20-month-old Trey Jenkins unresponsive.

Jenkins was transported to Children's Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy determined he died of blunt-force trauma to the chest and stomach that was too severe to survive for more than a few minutes.

Yesterday, police arrested Alexdener Roberson on a charge of capital murder. According to an arrest affidavit, Roberson was the live-in boyfriend of and father of an infant daughter by Precious Williams, Trey's mother.

Wiilliams had left Trey in Roberson's custody. During a diaper change, Roberson reportedly said that Trey became "real cranky," then unresponsive.

Roberson's in Dallas County lockup right now with bail set at $1 million. You can read the affidavit after the jump. It's not particularly graphic but it deals with the violent death of a child.

ceepee, he's a "teen" because he's black. The observer is trying to get some sympathy for this wittle boy. If it were an 18-year old white: Grown White Man With Ties to the Tea Party, KKK, Mitt Romney, Belo, Preston Hollow, the Republican Party of Texas, and Owned a Confederate Flag Sticker in Middle School Charged With Capital Murder in Fatal Beating of 20-Month-Old

ceepee

I really hate that your headline says "teen", then the article doesn't state his age, and then the arrest affidavit reveals that he is 18. This is not a teenager, THIS IS A MAN!

@ceepee No man would beat an infant to death. No... this is something entirely less than a man.

IT'S A BLACK THING. "PRECIOUS" SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED "DOOFUS"....SORRY THAT THE BLACK THUG DIDN'T GET A POLICE SLUG...BUT THEN THE BLACKS WOULD HAVE RIOTED AND SAID HE WAS A "GOOD BOY" AND "INNOCENT" AND HOLLERED POLICE BRUTALITY.

DOESN'T ANYONE GET SICK AND TIRED OF BLACK THIS AND BLACK THAT AND POOR VICTIMS AND IN YOUR FACE DEMANDS OF EVERYONE THAT ISNT BLACK TOO. MY GOD...LINCOLN WAS SUCH A FOOL.
