‘Demons, evil’: Interview with Kyle parent accused of murdering young son played in court | KXAN Austin

October 15, 2021

Kyle, TEXAS (KXAN) — Testimony continued Friday in what is expected to be a roughly two-week-long trial in Hays County to determine if Stevie Dwayne Williams killed his two-year-old son, Mason. The young boy’s mother, Dazrine Ruth Chagoya-Williams, is also facing capital murder charges.

Body camera footage of a Kyle Police Department detective’s interview with Stevie following the boy’s death took up much of Friday morning. In it, Stevie told police that something “evil” was behind his son’s death.

Kyle father who said ‘demons’ killed 2-year-old found guilty of capital murder | KXAN Austin

Oct. 21, 2021
SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) — A Hays County jury found Stevie Dwayne Williams guilty of capital murder in the death of his 2-year-old son, Mason, after the boy was found squeezed to death in 2018. Williams will spend life in prison without the possibility of parole. The jury deliberated for roughly eight hours.

I'm guessing that he got sentenced the same day?
TIA!

Jury picks begin for Kyle mom charged in son's death

Posted: Apr 25, 2022

"A jury will decide over the next couple of weeks whether Dazrine Chagoya-Williams — the young Kyle mother charged for her alleged role in her two-year-old son’s death — is guilty of capital murder.

Stevie Dwayne Williams, Chagoya-Williams’ husband and Mason’s father, was found guilty of capital murder in October for his involvement in the young boy’s death. He repeatedly told police it was “demons” who killed the young boy, according to body camera video shown in court.

Chagoya-Williams will now face a jury for her alleged role. After being postponed, her trial starts Monday, April 25."
