AARON BOWMAN JR. - 18 Months (2009)/ Charged: Father; Aaron Bowman, Sr. - New Roads LA

New Roads police arrested the father of an 18-month-old boy Friday
after the toddler was found beaten to death at his grandmother’s house
last week, police said Saturday.
Aaron Bowman, 28, of New Roads, was booked into the Pointe Coupee
Parish Prison on one count of first-degree murder, said New Roads
Police Capt. Mark Munson on Saturday.
Bowman had temporary custody of Aaron Bowman Jr., the toddler, as well as his 2-year-old daughter, Munson said.
The toddler’s grandmother, who was not identified, called police at about 11 a.m. Wednesday, Munson said.
“When we got to her house, the baby was dead,” Munson said.
An autopsy showed that one of the baby’s legs was broken and he had
been hit “with the palm of a fist” on his head, his stomach and his
back, Munson said.
The child also had liver damage, he said.
“The baby died from internal bleeding,” Munson said.
The autopsy showed that the toddler received the injuries on Tuesday, he said.
Bowman first told police that the child was injured while Bowman was
playing with him. Bowman said he was throwing the child in the air when
the child “slipped” and fell, Munson said.
“But the injuries on the baby were not consistent with an accident
like Mr. Bowman described,” Munson said. “His story was not consistent
with the pathologist’s findings.”
Three police officers, Munson, Sgt. Shell Stringer, and Chief Kevin
McDonald, questioned Bowman on Friday until he confessed, Munson said.
“He said he did it because the baby wouldn’t stop crying,” Munson said.
