According to Virginia prison records, Nathaniel Lee Edmonds remains in custody at the Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren Regional Jail without bond. On the evening of Wednesday, September 18, 2024, Edmond was taken into custody for the death of his child.

Despite facing a second-degree murder charge, it’s unclear whether Edmonds has hired counsel or filed a plea. The incident occurred in Edmonds’ home at Front Royal in Virginia, and here’s all we know.

What Happened Between Nathaniel Edmonds and the One-Year-Old? 

In September 2024, police received a call from a home in the Front Royal regarding an unresponsive baby. The caller, who was the baby’s mother, stated she had come home from work to find their son unresponsive in his bed. According to the complaint, Edmonds was supposed to watch her son, but when she returned, he was missing.

After the incident was reported, Edmonds’ son was transferred to Warren Memorial Hospital, where he was declared deceased. The Front Royal Police Department later revealed that Edmonds was found walking seven miles from the family’s home.

What Happened Between Nathaniel Edmonds and His One-Year-Old? 

On September 18, 2024, a criminal complaint was filed against Edmonds, which resulted in a 2nd-degree murder charge. However, before Edmonds was charged, authorities brought him in for questioning.

After being read his rights, Nathaniel Edmonds admitted to choking his one-year-old out of frustration for not listening. According to Detective T.A. Smith, Edmonds confessed to holding his 1-year-old son by the throat for a few minutes in frustration when the child didn’t listen.

Additionally, Edmonds stated that the incident took place where the baby was found. Furthermore, he acknowledged seeing foam at the child’s mouth during his questioning.

A Similar Case of Father Killing Son 

On August 17, 2021, Brandon Lee Cervera and his ex-wife Miranda Casarez allegedly starved their son Benjamin to death. On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the trial of Cervera began three years after Benjamin was declared dead at San Antonio Hospital.

In May 2022, a press release was made by the district attorney’s office announcing Cervera’s indictment on charges of causing serious injury to a child. Subsequently, on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, Officer Omar Perez testified before jurors about his visit to Cervera’s residence in 2021.

POLL—Should Abortion Be Legal in Most Cases?

Perez said, “Benjamin had visible injuries. He had bruises on his eyes and torso, and he was skinny … able to see his bones.” However, Cervera denied the allegations, attributing Benjamin’s bruises to his behavioral problems.

According to defense attorney Jodi Soyars’ opening statement, she claimed that Benjamin was small and that doctors had no health concerns before his death. Prosecutors used photos of Benjamin’s body during the medical examiner’s testimony to show his malnourished state.

This showed the jury the level of starvation that Benjamin was subjected to. Additionally, the medical examiner confirmed Perez’s claims of bruises on Benjamin’s body found during the postmortem examination.

James Lukefahr, who attended to Benjamin in the San Antonio hospital before his death, stated in his testimony that the young man was underweight for his age. Lukefahr added that he concurred with the medical examiner’s conclusion that malnutrition was the cause of Benjamin’s death.

During the medical examiner’s testimony, prosecutors presented the jurors with photographs of the boy’s body to highlight his malnourishment and weight. Additionally, the medical examiner corroborated Perez’s allegations regarding the boy’s injuries.

A Jury Trial To Determine the Father’s Guilt Is in Progress

According to court documents, in July 2023, Nathaniel Edmonds was charged with misdemeanor domestic assault and battery by prosecutors. After being read his Miranda rights, Edmonds admitted to choking his son along U.S. 522 North, explaining it was due to the child’s disobedience.

The victim’s mother left for work, leaving him in charge of their son when she returned. Following an initial hearing on September 19, 2024, Edmonds is being held without bond at the RSW Regional Jail in northern Warren County. A second hearing was originally scheduled for October 17, 2024, but postponed until 9:45 a.m. on December 19, 2024.
