A Texas cop was charged in the death of his son after the child drowned while he was allegedly arguing with his estranged wife. Raymond Licon Jr, 27, had both of his children with him in his apartment on June 20 when he got into an argument with his wife through text messages around 8.34pm, according to KXAN.
The off-duty officer allegedly put his 11-month-old son Azrael in the bathtub and started the water before he stepped away.
Licon and his wife continued their argument on the phone and through text.
His cell phone records showed that he spoke with another person before he finally called 911 at 9.19pm after discovering the baby boy, according to the station.
Licon called first responders 45 minutes after the argument with his estranged wife began.
Investigators said Licon gave Azrael CPR but the baby later died at University Medical Center.
The bathtub was reportedly overflowing, causing the upstairs apartment to flood as water started dripping from the ceiling.
