On Monday, April 20, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office charged a 17-year-old with taking advantage of and ending the life of his 2-year-old foster brother, Jaxon, who was also his cousin.
Jaxon’s body was found unresponsive in his crib on April 5. He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries four days later.
The county’s medical examiner, Dr. Michelle Jorden, has yet to release a cause of passing.
