Overview
- Dawson Zamora, 3, died on Dec. 7 at Medical City Dallas after being on life support since October, according to police and medical examiner records.
- McKinney Police say both Chelsea Berg and Christopher Alexander now face capital murder of a person under 10, with Berg rearrested on Dec. 8 and bond not yet set.
- An affidavit says Alexander brought the child to a McKinney hospital on Oct. 14 and claimed he heard a “thud,” which doctors said did not match the injuries.
- Hospital staff documented severe brain trauma, bleeding, widespread bruising in different stages of healing, and wounds to the chest, stomach and genital/anal area.
- Investigators say seized texts show Berg warned Alexander was “dangerous” and discussed prior bruises, and the affidavit alleges both avoided care out of fear of a CPS investigation.
