A 17-year-old Terrytown man was arrested on charges of aggravated rape and first-degree murder of an 8-month-old child Saturday afternoon, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Arnold T. Ross, of 136 Friedrichs Road in Terrytown, was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Facility. No bond is available on the first-degree murder charge.
Ross was arrested after officers responded to a call of an unresponsive infant at 1656 Gary Court, Apt. B, near Gretna.
The infant, Da-Von Lonzo, was taken to Ochsner Westbank where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, according to a release issued by Col. John Fortunato, a spokesman for the sheriff's office.
The death was initially unclassified, but the Jefferson Parish coroner's office later reported it as a homicide after an autopsy of the child's body revealed multiple fractures consistent with a beating and tears in the anus.
Ross, who said he was the boyfriend of the infant's mother, initially told detectives that the baby fell down the stairs while he was babysitting, Fortunato said. But a neighbor reported hearing loud noises coming from the apartment, and investigators noted inconsistencies in Ross's account.

The “mothers” often are no better.
I once said 'Happy New Year' to 3 teens at Jo Ellen Smith Hospital. One of them threatened kill me.
A sharpened wooden pole wrapped with barbed wire
Strategically inserted into the rectum of this despicable sub human would most definitely be appropriate! The impalement should be a public venue as well!
Not only is the mother just as responsible but so are all the liberals who favor letting slimebags like this walk around free.
“Ross has a record of previous arrests for possession of crack cocaine and marijuana, obscenity, battery on a correctional officer, three counts of battery on a teacher, three counts of theft, illegal carrying of a weapon and assault.”
Oh, my God, that poor little baby! :*(
This killer has dead eyes! May God’s justice be meted out upon him for killing this poor innocent child! :*(
And yet the mother let this lowlife be alone with her baby. Unbelievable!
Not the public square, but Death Row in any prison in the US.
Assemble all the prisoners on DR, and have this person standing before their group. Show them graphic autopsy photos of the baby and have the M.E. describe in detail what he found.
Then leave the room and lock the doors.
JUSTICE. At no additional cost to the taxpayers!
You know DUmmies will find a way to blame this on Bush, don’t you?

He’ll probably be tried as a juvenile.
Ditto
Bush's fault.
I wonder if Judge Soto-minor would have "empathy" for this monster and others like him.
After all, she's a Latina that has had richer life experiences than any white male judge who will hear this case.

And I’m sure his mother will step forward to say her son is a model student, just misunderstood and a victim of racism.
this guy does not deserve the death penalty. He deserves to be locked up in general population?
‘mommysboyfriend’ - keyword added, bumping.
I hoped no photo of the perp had been posted in my field of view, so my comment would be considered based on the act and nothing else. But, correctness aside, here goes:
That individual is not a MAN, it is a SUBHUMAN, less than an animal! It and all like it, regardless of color or background, must be DESTROYED!
Even the death penalty alternative proposed on my FReeper profile is too good for IT!

Yup. I agree. They aren’t mothers, they are just “single woman in heat with children”.
Bastard needs to be raped with a broken shovel handle wrapped in barbed wire.
