A Baltimore police officer has been charged with murder in the death of his 15 year old stepson, according to Anne Arundel County police and Yahoo! News.
Last week, police found the body of Dasan in an attic crawlspace of the family home. Police say they were called after Dasan’s mother could not reach her son by phone and told authorities she believed he was being held against his will.
When officers arrived, they questioned Dasan’s stepfather, Eric, 34. Police say Eric told them Dasan had left without taking his belongings. Officers then searched the home and found the teen. Yahoo! News reports the medical examiner ruled Dasan’s death a homicide by asphyxiation.
Eric was charged with first and second degree murder, and a charge of child abuse resulting in death was later added. Police said he resisted during his arrest. These are allegations, and it was not clear from early reports whether he has entered a plea or has an attorney.
Anne Arundel County Police Chief Amal Awad called it a “heartbreaking, traumatic and horrific case.” Our thoughts are with Dasan’s family and friends.
