Palmdale Father Charged with Murder in Infant Son’s Disappearance

Los Angeles County DA Gascón seeks justice as authorities continue search for the missing child's remains.

Yusef Dewees, 24, faces charges of murder, assault, and child abuse in the death of his three-week-old son, Baki.
The infant was reported missing on May 7, and his remains have not been found despite extensive searches.
The child's mother, Roselani Gaoa, is also in custody on multiple child abuse charges in Utah.
Court documents reveal a history of abuse allegations against both parents prior to the infant's disappearance.
Authorities are working on extraditing Dewees from Utah to face charges in Los Angeles County.
