The Odessa Police Department revealed the gruesome details in an arrest affidavit, saying the infant had heavy bruising and swelling to the left side of his face and head.
Officers said the interior of the couple’s apartment was disheveled with what appeared to befeces on the floor, according to the affidavit. The couple reportedly tried to clean up some of the mess before officers arrived.
The mother, 18-year-old Leyla Pierson, told officers she found the infant not breathing and "frantically" went to Gammage to wake him up and tell him about the infant – but he seemed uncaring, the affidavit said. Later, Gammage admitted conceded to these anger issues, telling investigators he had been dealing with a lot of stress lately, including the infant crying, the affidavit said.
