A man from Garland was apprehended this week for the murder of a newborn in November.
On Wednesday, the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Andrew Garza, 20, in an apartment complex in Garland.
Investigators suspect he is responsible for the death of 3-week-old Jonah Garza on November 24, 2024, at a residence in Royse City.
The baby was taken to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas and confirmed dead. Following an autopsy, the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the baby’s death was a homicide.
This Monday, investigators from the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office obtained a warrant for Garza on charges of capital murder of a person under the age of ten.
