grand jury indicts FATHER in baby’s death
a
Denver Grand Jury has returned an indictment
against a man in connection with the March 21, 2003 death of his
10-week-old son.
Walter Lashawn
Williams,
aka Shawn Williams (DOB: 5-10-79) has been charged by indictment
with first-degree murder (F1) and child abuse
resulting in death (F2).
The indictment was handed down
Thursday, April 24, 2003 and was unsealed today following his
arrest. Williams is scheduled to appear in court on May 1, 2003,
at 8:30 a.m. in Denver District Court, room 8, to be advised of
the charges.
The indictment
alleges that Williams was caring for his infant son, Donovan, on
March 21, 2003 when that baby stopped breathing and later died
due to blunt force trauma, “consistent with a person shaking or
shaking and striking the child.” The baby’s mother was out of
town at the time.
