after authorities say he beat a 2-year-old to death
with a basketball shoe after she accidentally
defecated on the floor.
Police report that 23-year-old Calvin Jones was
babysitting his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter
when the child had an accident on the floor.
Jones told police that he "disciplined" the child
with a basketball shoe and the back of his hand,
smacking her several times.
When the child's mother, 21-year-old Anisha
Alford returned, the child reportedly complained
of not feeling well and was cold to the touch.
A witness tells police they saw the child gagging
and spitting up with her eyes rolling in the back
of her head but say Alford refused to take her to
a hospital.
Instead the couple went to sleep and woke up in
the morning to find the child dead.
Jones faces charges of first degree murder and
aggravated child abuse.
Alford has been charged with first degree child
abuse as well.
