A man accused of murdering his girlfriend’s 18-month-old son and lying to cover it up pleaded not guilty Friday, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Marco Antonio Alvarado-Cisneros, 25, faces eight felonies.
Alvarado-Cisneros was caring for his girlfriend’s baby, Dante Nava, on Aug. 12, 2014, at their apartment just outside Redwood City as she went to work. That night, the suspect called 911 to report that the baby was not breathing and may have had a seizure, according to prosecutors.
Alvarado-Cisneros claimed to paramedics that the baby may have fallen off the bed and had a seizure but an autopsy revealed numerous injuries including several human, adult bite marks, according to prosecutors.
He continued to live with his 21-year-old girlfriend after the baby’s death and they had another child together, according to prosecutors.
In September 2015, the mother reported numerous domestic violence attacks and that the defendant had kidnapped and robbed her. A subsequent investigation led to his arrest for the murder of the child, according to prosecutors.
He remains in custody on no bail and is due back in court Oct. 21.
