Man Arrested For Death Of Baby In Essex

ESSEX, Md. (WJZ) ―
An autopsy shows a 15-month-old boy was beaten to death inside an Essex apartment. A man now sits behind bars, charged with first-degree murder.
Adam May spoke exclusively with the child's family.
The family says the suspect first tried to blame the flu, and then said he was rough-housing with the boy. But the coroner concluded that none of that was true.
Fifteen-month-old Cameron Williams was killed by his mother's live-in boyfriend inside an Essex apartment Sunday night, according to police.
"I want to hold him and let him know that I love you, you'll always be with me," said Mayumo Taliaferro, Cameron's aunt. "I wonder how anyone can do this to a baby."
Izumi Williams-Davis is also the child's aunt on the biological father's side. She spoke only to WJZ.
"He did not deserve to be killed at all," she said.
During emergency treatment at Franklin Square, police claim the suspect, who they identified as 21-year-old Brian Savage, kept changing his story.
"He had no remorse. If a baby died in your care, anybody would be terrified. He just looked dumb, like a dumbfounded look," said Izumi Williams-Davis.
Police say the boy's autopsy showed bruises and cuts to his head and body, damage to his lungs, liver and spleen and other internal injuries.
"How could you sleep at night knowing you did this to an innocent child?" Taliaferro said. "How could you?"
"He didn't see his second Christmas or second birthday because of an idiot. That's not fair," Williams-Davis said.
Cameron's funeral will be Thursday at noon at the March Funeral Home on North Avenue.
Savage is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center with bail denied.
