  • He is charged with one count of murder by child abuse and two counts of child abuse with substantial bodily harm in the death of Julian Rodriguez.

    Police said Julian suffered bruising around his abdomen, but the Clark County coroner's office hadn't determined Tuesday how he died.

    Lt. Brian Evans of the police abuse and neglect unit said the mother left Julian in Esquer-Anaya's care Sunday. About 8 p.m., she took Julian to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center where he died.

    Julian's family didn't have any prior contact with the Department of Family Services.

The man their talking about it my cousin and he would never do that. He is such a loving and caring soul. He took a great part in raising his younger siblings. He is not capable of doing this.
    What does being legal have to do with this? People that dumb questions like that are very ignorant.
