Baby Thrown Onto Highway, Killed
May 5, 2009
Richard Anthony McTear Jr., 21, was arrested after his ex-girlfriend’s baby was beaten, kidnapped and thrown from a car along an interstate in Tampa, Fla.
Authorities in Florida arrested a man suspected of assaulting and kidnapping an infant, and then discarding the child’s body along an interstate Tuesday.
Sheriff’s deputies were called to the home of a 17-year-old girl early Tuesday in Tampa, Fla. Jasmine Marie Bedwell told authorities that her ex-boyfriend showed up before dawn and attacked her and her infant son, throwing the boy onto concrete and then running off with him, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
The body of the infant, Emanuel Wesley Murray, was found along Interstate 275 in Tampa by a photographer for Fox 13, a local television station.
“On the side of the road, I saw something out of the corner of my eye and at first I thought it was a baby doll and then as I was thinking about it more, I thought that was awfully big for a doll,” photographer Jason Bird told Fox 13.
The baby was pronounced dead at 4:30 a.m, the Times said.
The suspect was arrested around 9 a.m. Police identified him as Richard Anthony McTear Jr., 21.
The newspaper reported that McTear has prior convictions for offenses including drug possession, resisting arrest, trespassing and felony battery. He was declared a fugitive earlier this year after his probation officers in the battery case were unable to locate him, the newspaper said.

What is totally amazing here is that McTear’s ex-girlfriend actually went out with a criminal, but I suppose there are some girls who love bad boys. Well, McTear is a really bad boy in this case, tossing an infant from his car window while he was zooming up I 275. The baby is obviously not McTear’s - its name is Emanuel Wesley Murray, implying that his ex-girlfriend had a baby with another guy (What did McTear expect once they broke up? That she would never again hang out with boys? Wrong there!). Admittedly, the ex is way too young to be having babies, at the tender age of 17 (goodness, she is not even allowed to legally vote yet or buy lottery tickets) but at some point in her life, she hooked up with the wrong guy. Hopefully McTear will be away in jail forĀ along time and when he gets out, the ex-girlfriend will probably have to get police protection against McTear. The “good” news is that it is a good thing MctTear was not the father of little Emanuel but it is very well possible he might be a father to someone else’s baby. He was just upset enough with his ex Jasmine to assault her and take away her baby and kill him. McTear simply is not mature enough to be a father quite yet.
