Houston Fire Department paramedics responded to the above address regarding an unresponsive three-year-old boy (Jaycion Jones).  HFD paramedics observed bruising around Jaycion's pelvis and transported him to Texas Children's Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.  An autopsy conducted by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences determined Jaycion suffered extensive internal injuries as well as wounds to his buttocks, back, abdomen, pelvis and head and that he died as a result of those injuries.  

Suspect Jones was subsequently charged in her son's death and surrendered to authorities on Dec. 10, 2016.
Further investigation identified Young as a second suspect and he was arrested and charged on Tuesday (Jan. 24) without incident.
