Cicero Man Charged With Beating 18-Month-Old Toddler To Death
(CBS) -- A 23-year-old Cicero man has been charged in the beating death of an 18-month-old toddler last Thursday, a spokesman for the town of Cicero said.
Police say that Martin Alvarado Jr., the boyfriend of the child's mother, was changing the child's diaper when the child peed on him. Alvarado then became enraged and struck the child multiple times, police said.
Police arrived at the scene in the 1600 block of 49th Court and the child, 18-month-old Edwin O'Reilly, was rushed to the hospital, where he later died.
Alvarado Jr. has been charged with first degree murder and will appear in bond court on Monday.
