A father in Texas is facing possible prison time after police allege he threw his crying 4-month-old child into a couch - killing him - after he became frustrated over bills and other stressors in his life. Alfred Williams was found guilty by a jury in Tarrant County on one count of felony murder for the child abuse-related death of 4-month-old Azari Williams, according to Law&Crime. The incident took place in February 2023 at an apartment complex in southwest Fort Worth. Williams, 21, was the only adult at the home with the baby and the victim's 11-year-old half brother, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported based on a courtroom report. Law enforcement said that as the baby began to cry, Williams grew frustrated and yelled for him to shut up. Williams then picked up his son and squeezed him, which caused two fractures in the boy's ribs.

The baby then bounced and likely hit his head on the wall, according to doctors. Following the incident, the baby was taken to Cook Children's Hospital and succumbed to his injuries. The medical examiner's office said he suffered a series of blunt force injuries, according to KDFW. Additionally, a pathologist determined that the combined attack caused the baby to suffer significant brain bleeding and a spinal column fracture. The 11-year-old told investigators that he was in his bedroom when the incident took place. He initially heard his brother crying, which was followed by Williams shouting and the baby eventually stopped crying. It was also reported that the family had no history with Child Protective Services prior to the baby's death. Williams was initially arrested on one count of injury to a child with serious bodily injury, according to the Star-Telegram. However, his charges were later upgraded to a more severe offense. During the state's closing argument during the trial, Assistant District Attorney Steven Elliott said Williams threw the baby "like he was nothing." "I didn't want to hurt my child," Williams later said through tears. Additionally, Williams explained that he was dealing with a lot of issues that caused stress in his life. He said he was unemployed at the time of his son's death, so he could not pay his cellphone bill. He also added that he spent most of his time alone while caring for the baby in the apartment since the child's mother worked 12-hour shifts at a hospital. Williams said he tried to find nonviolent ways to deal with his stress, including smoking cigars outside or taking walks.

Before a decision was made, jurors were told that they were allowed to consider that lesser-included offense while deliberating the ruling. Ultimately, the jury determined that Williams did not intentionally kill his son. However, they decided that he committed the felony crime of injury to a child and caused his death. William's sentence has not yet been revealed, though he's facing five years to life in prison.
