Overview
- McKinney Police said Dawson Zamora was taken off life support and pronounced dead at 10:42 a.m. on Dec. 7 at Medical City Dallas.
- Chelsea Berg, 30, was rearrested on Dec. 8 and booked into the Collin County Jail, and Christopher Thomas Alexander, 30, has remained in custody since October.
- Police said the injury-to-a-child counts for both defendants were upgraded to capital murder of a person under 10, and no bond had been set as of the latest reports.
- Hospital staff reported severe brain trauma, intracranial bleeding, extensive bruising, and wounds on the child’s torso and genital area that did not align with Alexander’s account of hearing a “thud.”
- Investigators obtained phone records showing prior texts about bruises and injuries, and earlier arrests in October included injury to a child for both and an additional tampering charge for Alexander.
