Man who beat toddler to death identified
The man who was shot by police when he refused to stop brutally beating a toddler has been identified as Sergio Casian Aguilar. The child is believed to be his son.
Sergio Casian Aguilar, 27, parked his truck on an unlit road Saturday night, removed a 2-year-old boy from his car seat and proceeded to stomp, kick and punch the boy to death, authorities said. The boy was unrecognizable when he was pronounced dead at Emanuel Medical Center, the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department said.
Authorities have not released the boy’s name but say they believe he was Aguilar’s son. The Stanislaus County coroner and the California Department of Justice are testing DNA to confirm the relationship.
Several motorists called 911 and tried to stop the beating, authorities said.
