Tacoma police make arrest in boy's death

TACOMA — Police have arrested the boyfriend of a woman whose 3-year-old son was fatally injured at a Tacoma apartment complex.

TACOMA — Police have arrested the boyfriend of a woman whose 3-year-old son was fatally injured at a Tacoma apartment complex.

Police spokesman Mark Fulghum says the injury occurred Wednesday inside an apartment, not on a playground set as officers were first told.

The 25-year-old man was booked into the Pierce County Jail at 1:30 a.m. today for investigation of second-degree murder. He had a 2004 conviction for assaulting his own son.

The man had been watching his girlfriend's boy while she was at work. When the mother returned she drove her son to St. Clare Hospital in Lakewood where he was declared dead.

The boy's biological father told The News Tribune of Tacoma that he had reported abuse to Child Protective Services. CPS confirmed a social worker checked on the boy last month and opened a case.
