West Bank teen arrested in rape and murder of 8-month-old (N.O., Louisiana)

A 17-year-old Terrytown man was arrested on charges of aggravated rape and first-degree murder of an 8-month-old child Saturday afternoon, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said.

Arnold T. Ross, of 136 Friedrichs Road in Terrytown, was booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Facility. No bond is available on the first-degree murder charge.

Ross was arrested after officers responded to a call of an unresponsive infant at 1656 Gary Court, Apt. B, near Gretna.

The infant, Da-Von Lonzo, was taken to Ochsner Westbank where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, according to a release issued by Col. John Fortunato, a spokesman for the sheriff's office.

The death was initially unclassified, but the Jefferson Parish coroner's office later reported it as a homicide after an autopsy of the child's body revealed multiple fractures consistent with a beating and tears in the anus.

Ross, who said he was the boyfriend of the infant's mother, initially told detectives that the baby fell down the stairs while he was babysitting, Fortunato said. But a neighbor reported hearing loud noises coming from the apartment, and investigators noted inconsistencies in Ross's account.

This is one of the reasons we still need the death penalty.

Raping the anus of an 8 month old child is the work of a monster. This person isnt fit to walk the earth with human beings and should be rapidly disposed of in the quickest mannr possible.

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

HE needs to be beaten to death.

[Dallas59]

Hang him.

[beckysueb]

How many children have to die before these stupid women quit letting their no good boyfriends babysit them? I know someone is going to jump my case about this but I see it all the time. Boyfriends or male family friends left to babysit, then wind up abusing or killing the child.

Isnt is surprising that anyone printed the story. Since the jerk was “of color” one would think it would have been buried.
So much for blacks acting better because Obama was elected.

[ottbmare]

Not just the death penalty, but something similar to what happened to Edward II.

[Bogey78O]

I used to live in Terrytown.

I haven’t been back there in years and have been there only maybe half a dozen times since I graduated high school.

The west bank is just falling apart.

“This is one of the reasons we still need the death penalty”

Which will be null and void completely if sota-jerk gets on the Supreme Court. I’m sure she’ll find a reason to emathize with this perp and let him walk.

[freeangel]

“so much for blacks acting better because obama was elected”

Aucontaire. Now they can do anything BECAUSE he was elected and not expect to pay the price.

[gitmo]

Self-censored post. ****

[DocH]

Sorry, but the n-word FITS murdering savages like O.J., this scumbag, and others like them who commit violent crimes well in excess to their proportion of the population.

He should be hung in the public square, PERIOD, END OF STORY.

P.S... Notice he has that STUPID look on his POS face, just like so many of these violent man-children do, including the "Religion-of-Peace"-convert terrorist who murdered the soldier recently.

[clee1]

Don’t worry... Louisiana still has the death penalty, and they still know how to use it.

This perverted thug is already a dead man walking. If the State doesn’t do it, the more “noble” criminals in Angola will!

If you follow the link to read the rest of the story and comments on NOLA.COM, you’d swear you were reading about a third world hell hole. New Orleans should be so proud of their “chocolate city”.

[abclily]

Isn’t raping babies the African cure for AIDS? Maybe Arnold was just self-medicating.

[freeangel]

Let me ammend that statement to SOME feel they can do anything. I didn’t mean to imply all.

[Las Vegas Ron]

So much for blacks acting better because Obama was elected.

Oh, they won't act better, they just think they can get away with it now.

Remember, it's payback time.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The “mothers” often are no better.

Chocolate City Culture.

I once said 'Happy New Year' to 3 teens at Jo Ellen Smith Hospital. One of them threatened kill me.

A sharpened wooden pole wrapped with barbed wire
Strategically inserted into the rectum of this despicable sub human would most definitely be appropriate! The impalement should be a public venue as well!

[PaleoBob]

Not only is the mother just as responsible but so are all the liberals who favor letting slimebags like this walk around free.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“Ross has a record of previous arrests for possession of crack cocaine and marijuana, obscenity, battery on a correctional officer, three counts of battery on a teacher, three counts of theft, illegal carrying of a weapon and assault.”

[pillut48]

Oh, my God, that poor little baby! :*(

This killer has dead eyes! May God’s justice be meted out upon him for killing this poor innocent child! :*(

[beckysueb]

And yet the mother let this lowlife be alone with her baby. Unbelievable!

[pillut48]

Not the public square, but Death Row in any prison in the US.

Assemble all the prisoners on DR, and have this person standing before their group. Show them graphic autopsy photos of the baby and have the M.E. describe in detail what he found.

Then leave the room and lock the doors.

JUSTICE. At no additional cost to the taxpayers!

[pillut48]

You know DUmmies will find a way to blame this on Bush, don’t you?

/sarc

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

He’ll probably be tried as a juvenile.

[Let's Roll]

Ditto

[freespirited]

Ross has a record of previous arrests for possession of crack cocaine and marijuana, obscenity, battery on a correctional officer, three counts of battery on a teacher, three counts of theft, illegal carrying of a weapon and assault.

Bush's fault.

[MinuteGal]

Boyfriend and mother are probably on the public dole, also.

I wonder if Judge Soto-minor would have "empathy" for this monster and others like him.

After all, she's a Latina that has had richer life experiences than any white male judge who will hear this case.

And I’m sure his mother will step forward to say her son is a model student, just misunderstood and a victim of racism.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

this guy does not deserve the death penalty. He deserves to be locked up in general population?

A 17-year-old Terrytown man...

I hoped no photo of the perp had been posted in my field of view, so my comment would be considered based on the act and nothing else. But, correctness aside, here goes:

That individual is not a MAN, it is a SUBHUMAN, less than an animal! It and all like it, regardless of color or background, must be DESTROYED!

Even the death penalty alternative proposed on my FReeper profile is too good for IT!

< /rant >

[joesjane]

The death penalty isn't working...every time I hear a horrible story like this I remember a story my gma told me. Two guys in the San Jose area I think kidnapped a child they later killed when they did not get the ransom (not sure of the date). They were caught by the police then hauled from the jail by local citizens and hung in the center of town. One they were dead they sold pieces of rope as souvenirs. That is what I am talking about!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Yup. I agree. They aren’t mothers, they are just “single woman in heat with children”.

[Levante]

Bastard needs to be raped with a broken shovel handle wrapped in barbed wire.

[Levante]

“And I’m sure his mother will step forward to say her son is a model student, just misunderstood and a victim of racism.”

And an aspiring “Rap artist.”

[kalee]

Yeah, that too. :(

[RoadTest]

A Liberal always blames somebody else for what he does.

[RoadTest]

A-a-argh! I wanted to post this in the previous thread, where Obama blames Bush!

Sorry

So men are evil monsters unfit to care for children?
You had better get back on your meds.

[TXnMA]

In this specific case I find myself almost in agreement with you...

[chae]

My fiancee has helped me out before by watching my son while I was at work. The only abuse that occurred was my son forcing him to watch x-men 3 over and over again.

[skinkinthegrass]

A rope stretching is needed.

[pillut48]

IMO, Becky is referring to women who let men/boyfriends WITH KNOWN CRIMINAL RECORDS (SOME INCLUDING CHILD ABUSE!!) ‘take care’ of the child/ren while they (the woman) are out at work or shopping or whatever, not men in general.
