A Louisiana toddler battered to death, a Wharton man ambushed in El Campo and a wreck that threw a woman from a vehicle were the county’s only three confirmed homicide
Injuries uncovered by an autopsy report transformed a toddlerâs death from sad accident to capital murder in El Campo Friday.
El Campo police say 26-year-old babysitter Angel Nicole Castro of 703 Way inflicted egregious harm upon 19-month-old Roselynn Coates on Jan. 19 and then waited 45 minutes to call for help.
âShe said she didnât think it was that bad at the time,â El Campo police Lt. Russell Urban said.
When El Campo EMS was summoned to the scene at 11:06 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, little Roselynn was not conscious, but was breathing, according to the ECPD.
âShe had an obvious head injury, but that was not the cause of death,â Urban said, adding the child suffered unspecified fatal internal injuries.
