Dad Shook, Threw, Squeezed, Killed Infant
On October - 30 - 2010
A Lafayette father arrested Thursday on suspicion of causing the injuries that killed his 10-week-old son told authorities that he squeezed, threw and shook the infant “pretty good and pretty hard” in an attempt to revive him when he stopped breathing. But investigators suspect Joaquin Campos, 21, abused his son, Lyon Campos, before he became unresponsive, according to an arrest report made public Friday.
A doctor told investigators that Campos has “given no explanation for why Lyon would stop breathing,” according to the report. The doctor from Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center said Campos “is giving a backwards story and that the shaking preceded the stop in breathing.”
