His mother killed him. Tiffany Toribio, was kicked out of her parents and friends house just day before she killed her son. They were staying at the park when she decided to kill him, she put on hand over his nose and mouth until he stopped breathing. At the time she had second thoughts, gave him c.p.r, brought him back to life, than, covered his mouth again killing him. She than buried him in the sand. A mother with her three smell kids found him the next day, the hot sand had already started to decay his small body. She told police, that, she didn’t want him to grow up with no one caring about him, just like how she grew up.
