being taken off life support.
Curtis Leon Copeland, 26, remained in the Denton County Jail Thursday in lieu of $500,000 bail on that charge and $25,000 on a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in Bowie. He was the boyfriend of the child's mother, according to sheriffs reports.
Jesse Fleming Fisher Jr. died at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. He had suffered severe head trauma, a broken pelvis, a broken neck, black eyes and bruises all over his body. He also had been sexually assaulted, Denton County Sherriff's Sgt. Roger Griggs said.
Copeland had told investigators the boy fell down the stairs last Friday at his mothers house but had been playing outside Wednesday after she dropped him off at Copelands house north of Krum. She was on her way to a hospital to deliver another baby, and she also left a 1-year-old with Copeland.
Copeland was not the father of any of the children, Griggs said.
