Neighbor Jimmy Shannon told the media that Tre’viance Markese Walker, his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s baby were living with Walker’s aunt and uncle. While the rest of the occupants of the home were out for a short time, Shannon says Walker was charged with watching the baby, but he was upset with OU’s win and lashed out at the crying baby, reports the British Daily Mail.
“The baby wouldn’t stop crying so he went allegedly and picked up the baby with such force as to snap the baby’s neck,” Shannon said. Shannon went on to say that his neighbors told him Walker lost $200 because of the Bedlam game and that’s why he lashed out.
Shannon says after everyone got home they found the baby unresponsive and called police.
Police responded to the home in the 200 block of Willoway around 6:00 pm. The 6-month-old boy was taken to a local hospital where he later died. According to the affidavit filed in Cleveland County, the boy had trauma to his face and head and blood in his right ear.
The report states Walker had the boy in his care starting at 1:35 pm until 2:30 pm. Walker initially claimed not to have touched the boy during that time.
“It’s heart wrenching. It’s disgusting, and it just makes me sick to my stomach,” said Shannon.
