(October 21, 2008)—A Killeen toddler with severe head trauma was in critical condition Tuesday evening in the pediatric intensive care unit of Scott & White Hospital in Temple and his mother’s boyfriend was in custody, charged with injury to a child.

Police arrested Malcolm Jamon Evans, 22, of Killeen Sunday evening after responding to a 911 call from a residence at 614 Adams Ave. about a child who was not breathing.

When officers arrived, they found the toddler’s distraught mother, whom police did not identify, standing on the side of the road with her unconscious child in her arms.

She told officers that her boyfriend had been babysitting the boy while she was at work, but said the boyfriend showed up at her workplace to take her home because of an emergency involving the toddler.

She arrived home to find the boy unresponsive.

Police said as she picked the toddler up and attempted to leave the apartment, her boyfriend attacked her and then fled in his vehicle.

The toddler was taken first to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center and then was flown by helicopter to Scott & White.

Police later arrested Evans.

He was charged initially with assault in connection with an attack on his girlfriend and on Tuesday, he was named in a complaint charging injury to a child.

His bonds total $255,000.
