Ke'Andre Dayshawn Coleman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Four year old Ke'Andre Coleman suffered "torturous" physical abuse at the hands of his mother and her boyfriend. Mikkia Lewis and Joe McCaskell beat Ke'Andre so badly over a three days period that he died from his injuries. On April 15th Ke’Andre was pronounced dead at their home after McCaskell, called 911 to say he was not breathing. Paramedics were unable to revive Ke'Andre and believe he had died several hours before.

 

Lewis told detectives when they interviewed her: 'I guess I whooped him too much' and admitted telling her son two days before he died that she 'gives up' and 'I don't want you any more'. The couple told detectives they forced Ke'Andre to hold positions for 30 to 45 minutes, including standing in the corner with his arms raised above his head, keeping his back against the wall and squatting with his knees bent and arms outstretched, and holding himself in a raised push up position.

 

The medical examiner took a full day to record all of his injuries, which included shoe impressions all over his body, a red and swollen bottom with open sores, a mutilated nipple, scabs on his stomach, hemorrhaging in his thighs and shoulders that appeared dislocated. The couple were charged with aggravated child abuse but additional charges are expected pending the final result of the cause of death.

 

Update:

 

Mikkia Lewis, Joe McCaskell were each accused of aggravated child abuse and first degree felony murder. If convicted of first degree felony murder, they could face the death penalty.
