The mother of a 4-month-old boy, 20-year-old Jessica Mario Lujan, severely beat, scratched and even threw the baby in the time leading up to the infant's death.
Lujan and the boy's father, 21-year-old Jose Ramirez, are both facing child abuse homicide charges.
Lujan was seen being escorted by police from the Motel 6 with another child in her arms.
Lujan admitted to striking the infant during an argument with Ramirez because "the child was screaming and she became angry. She admitted to striking him several times and scratching him with her fingernails. She then states that she placed the child into his car seat, upside down." Lujan then told police she went to sleep because "she was tired," leaving the child in the care of Ramirez.
Ramirez told police he witnessed Lujan "throw the infant into the car seat upside down," when he began to care for the child while the child's mother went to sleep.
