A one-year-old boy has died after spending a day in critical condition at a Valley hospital and hours later Angel Moreno's mother and her boyfriend were charged with his death.
Charges against Acela Moreno and Manuel Velez, were upgraded from injury to a child to capital murder.
On Monday a neighbor reportedly heard the baby choking and called for help. When Cameron County sheriffs deputies arrived they found the baby unresponsive and without a pulse.
Investigators believe Velez shook the baby violently in a fit of anger. At the hospital nurses noticed the baby's body was covered in bite marks and cigarette burns.
