Overview
- Anthony Evans, 23, was arrested in Chicago and charged with first-degree murder in the April death of his 2-month-old son, Kayson Flowers, police said.
- Judge James Murphy III ordered Evans detained after a hearing, following a filing that detailed injuries the medical examiner ruled were caused by blunt-force trauma.
- Prosecutors say Evans told detectives a demon inside him was responsible and that he admitted punching the baby.
- Evidence outlined by prosecutors places Kayson alive on April 27 via FaceTime, then returned in a covered stroller on April 28 after Evans said the baby had been sleeping a long time.
- Medical staff estimated Kayson had been dead six to eight hours when brought to the hospital, and prosecutors also described a February incident in which Evans allegedly punched the child’s mother.
