EL PASO, Tex. (KTSM) — Marvin Rex Lake gripped a 1-year-old infant like a football, wrestled with the baby and dropped him on the frame of a futon, causing fatal injuries, according to a police affidavit.
Lake, 24, was arrested on Monday in connection to the death of Ahren DeHart, a 1-year-old child who the El Paso County Medical Examiner’s Office says died of intentional trauma/homicide.
Lake was taking care of DeHart, along with two other children, on April 12 at a West Side residence. DeHart was taken to El Paso Children’s Hospital on April 13, where he was in critical condition and then placed on life support. The infant died of his injuries on Friday.
An investigator with the El Paso Police Department says Lake drove himself to the police headquarters in Central El Paso and initially denied causing the infant’s injuries. Police pressed Lake with images of the injuries to the infant, but he continued to say he did not know how the injuries occurred, according to the affidavit.

infuriating story... this POS should be strung up before the sun goes down.
A local story, just as the Minneapolis story should have been.
Imagine sacrificing your child to this savage; wonder how the parents feel...
Any outrage from the white community. String that murdering savage up!
Covid death? Pole lease brutality?
I would string up the white mamas first. My indignation is reserved for them.
WHAT!? How the heck do you “wrestle” with a baby!?
Is that an attempt to chalk the murder up to “horse play” and “boys will be boys”!?
< SARC > "El Paso District Attorney Yvonne Rosales, who fired half her experienced prosecutor staff after winning a donkey cart runoff race last year, immediately released the African-American baby murderer Marvin "El Dindoo" Lake and offered an official apology plus a settlement of $100,000 for police having entered his apartment to detain him in connection with the killing even though he was guilty as hell and blamed the child 'baby be cryin all the time and shit'." < / SARC >
Gripped like a football, how exactly? I had a niece that raised holy hell as an infant if she wasn’t carried on her tummy like a loaf of bread. Not making excuses for this asshole, and maybe I don’t want to know the answer, anyway.
Tragic.
I didn’t read the article as per SOP but did it say he was the babysitter? Or is it possible that a baby mama was watching the kids and dipped, leaving him in charge?
This story will go away very quickly. Ahren’s life did not matter.
"Lake returned to the police headquarters on April 15, wanting to speak with the investigator on the case. They had a discussion in the lobby of the building.“The defendant (Lake) was seeking reimbursement for damages to the futon,” the affidavit reads."
Mommy’s new boyfriend?
El Paso police say the two other children were also found with injuries and their conditions are being investigated.
Yeah...you may not want to read the rest.
...a friend of the infant’s parents.
DeHart’s regular babysitter had called out sick and Lake was a last-minute child care option, the family added.
