Man Accused Of Beating His Girlfriend’s 5-Year-Old Disabled Son To Death While She Was In Labor

A Missouri man is behind bars after allegedly beating his girlfriend’s 5-year-old disabled son to death while she was in labor having his child.

Jamarion Delancy, who was blind and had limited mobility, requiring leg braces, was brought to St. Louis Children’s Hospital on November 18th by 24-year-old Yoshuah Dallas. The child’s mother, Aunyae, had gone into labor a day earlier, leaving Delancy and his 7-year-old sister in Dallas’ care in their St. Louis apartment. When the child arrived at the hospital, he was in “dire need of medical attention,” according to a GoFundMe page established for the family by the St Louis County Police Association.

“Jamarion had no way to defend himself against the suspect’s attack,” the police association wrote.

The 5-year-old sustained “devastating” blunt force trauma to the abdomen, which resulted in a lacerated liver and intestine, a broken rib as well as bruising to his face and inside his mouth. The injuries led to an immense amount of internal bleeding, and sadly, he passed away from his injuries. Dallas was investigated and charged with abuse or neglect of a child resulting in death on November 19th. He was also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. 

“Jamarion’s death has left an impact on the members of the St. Louis County Police Department, and we feel compelled to do more, especially at a time of year when families typically gather and celebrate the holidays,” the police association said on the GoFundMe. “We feel for Aunyae at this incredibly difficult time where she has to bring a baby home from the hospital, while planning her son’s funeral and also trying to care for [the boy’s sister], who was in the apartment when this horrible act occurred — all with extremely limited resources.”
