A Fort Worth woman is facing a capital murder charge in the death of an 8-month-old baby boy. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 57-year-old Dulce Gomez was booked last Tuesday afternoon and is accused of killing the infant known as Fabian Arjon.

The tragic incident caught attention after the child was pronounced dead at Cook Children’s Medical Center on Nov. 4, with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office noting that the autopsy results, which are still pending, will reveal the official cause of death. Gomez's bond had not been set as of last Wednesday and details surrounding the case, as reported by MSN, remain undisclosed by the Fort Worth police.

The charge leveled against Gomez is one of capital murder of a person under 10 years old. Legal representation for Gomez is currently unknown, creating an atmosphere of speculations and unanswered questions in a community shaken by the loss of such a young life.

This devastating case points to the broader and more disturbing pattern of violence against the most vulnerable. Details of what led to Gomez's arrest have not been released by the Fort Worth police, leaving the public in wait for answers about this particularly heinous crime and seeking solace in a system sworn to protect, defend, and deliver justice.
