BRAIYDON WHITE - 4 Months (2010) - Victoria (SE of San Antonio) TX
A Victoria man was charged Thursday with capital murder in the
beating death of his infant son.
An indictment issued Thursday charged Terrence White, 20, with the
beating death of 4-month-old Braiydon White on May 20.
"I can't recall a crime more heinous than killing your own infant,"
said Victoria Police Chief Bruce Ure.
The baby's maternal grandmother, Nana Rodriguez-Naranjo, said she is
in shock.
"I was trying to get a hold of my daughter," said Rodriguez-Naranjo,
who had been unable reach the baby's mother, Monique Rodriguez, 21,
after learning of the arrest.
The Rodriguez had not been able to enter her home next door to her
mother in the 3000 block of Wildwood Street since her son's death on May
22, her mother said.
"She's taking it really hard," said Rodriguez-Naranjo.
"When I would go over there, he was loving and caring," said
Rodriguez-Naranjo, who advised White to take Braiydon to the emergency
room after he said he was concerned his son was feeling ill.
He took the infant to DeTar Hospital North.
"I went to check on him and thought his breathing was not right,"
said Rodriguez-Naranjo.
Victoria police allege White intentionally, repeatedly struck
Braiydon with blunt force blows to the head, causing major head
injuries, according to a news release.
"I really don't understand how anybody can hurt a little innocent
baby," said Rodriguez-Naranjo, who did not accuse White, but said she
was uncertain of what occurred.
Braiydon was transferred to Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus
Christi and, after two days on life support, died.
"This is like a nightmare," said Rodriguez-Naranjo, with teary eyes.
The baby's mother was at work when the incident occurred, according
to the news release.
White and Rodriguez were stopped by police on Thursday a block from
their Wildwood Street home, said Ure.
"We had the suspect under surveillance. We believe that he was
possibly attempting to leave the area," said Ure. He added that
officials believed he was a flight risk.
But the grandmother disagreed.
"They were taking the baby's clothes, they weren't planning on
leaving," the grandmother said as she recalled fond memories of her
grandson.
"It's just things I'll never forget," she said as she played a
recording on her phone of Braiydon cooing.
"His little eyes would sparkle," said Rodriguez-Naranjo.

Dad gets 20 years for murder of 4-month-old son (Victoria, Texas)
Mother says punishment for death of infant son 'not enough time'
Originally published March 7, 2012 at 4:30 p.m., updated March 8, 2012 at 8:50 a.m.
Monique Rodriguez collapsed into uncontrolled sobs as justice was served in the name of Braiydon White, her 4-month-old son who was killed in May 2010.
Braiydon's father, Terrence Derreal White Jr., who was 20 at the time, pleaded guilty to Braiydon's death and took a plea bargain of 20 years in prison - a sentence Rodriguez felt was not harsh enough.
White was sentenced in the 24th Judicial District Court on Feb. 6, and now a month later, Rodriguez is beginning to feel some closure.
"At least now I know the truth," said Rodriguez, 23. "When they first told me 20 years, I started crying. A lot of emotion just came over me. In my head I thought, 'that's not enough time for actually doing that to your own child, or any child.'"
Back in May 2010, White repeatedly struck Braiydon with enough blunt force that the 4-month-old suffered several head fractures, according to a 2010 news release from the Victoria Police Department.
Braiydon died of his injuries at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi.
The original offense was for capital murder of a person under 6 years old, a crime punishable by life in prison or death. However, the offense was lessened to injury to a child, according to court documents.
District Attorney Steve Tyler explained the circumstances surrounding the case made it difficult to give White life in prison.
At first the Braiydon's family was on White's side and then they switched.
The final decision was to drop the capital murder charge and go with the injury to a child charge, Tyler said.
Rodriguez admits that at first she didn't want to believe White had killed the child, but after she had some time to think about it, she came to her senses, she said.
"I didn't know what to believe in," she said. "I was kind of in disbelief."
Now that he has been sentenced, all Rodriguez can do is look forward.
Rodriguez has a 6-year-old son from another father who she has to be strong for and watch over, she said.
"I was scared I was never going to find out the truth," Rodriguez repeated. Rodriguez deals daily with the loss of her son.
It took her almost six months to clean out the trunk of her car, which had diapers and other baby supplies.
Even worse, it took her almost three months to finally sleep in her own bed. Even today, whenever she sees an infant who bears resemblance to her baby, she cries.
"In a way it's kind of a little bit of closure," she said. "At the same time, it's not enough."
