Infant thrown from car, dies – Suspect says “It’s a dirty game”
TTAMPA, FL — Authorities have arrested a man they say threw an infant from a car along I-275 Tuesday morning. The 3-month-old boy died.
21-year-old Richard McTear Jr. was apprehended around 9 a.m. at 3803 Arlington Drive in Tampa.
Jason Bird, an off-duty news photographer for WTVT-TV, found the child, identified as Emanuel Murray, in the southbound emergency lane near Fowler Avenue around 4:30 a.m.
“On the side of the road, I saw something out of the corner of my eye and at first I thought it was a baby doll, and then as I was thinking about it more I thought that was awfully big for a doll,” Bird said.
He decided to go back to take another look.
“It was laying there with its eyes open,” he said. “I couldn’t look at it. It freaked me out, but fortunately law enforcement came right away.”
About 45 minutes earlier, deputies were called to a home at 12414 North 15th Street for a report of domestic violence at the Marbella Apartments.
There’s something very wrong with a man who would inflict such pain on a child. I’m at a loss for words personally, the news is so disturbing and people’s lack of respect for human life baffles me.
This situation actually made me think about the death penalty, I’m still against it, but i see how in the sight of such a heinous crime how people become wept away in vengence. As my mother would say ‘Vengence is mine sayeth the Lord”.
