A Florida man has been charged with first-degree murder after authorities say he threw a 3-month-old boy out of a moving car on a Tampa interstate.
Police say infant Emanuel Murray died after his mother's ex-boyfriend threw him from a car on a Florida interstate.
Richard Anthony McTear Jr., 21, was arrested Tuesday, hours after a confrontation at his former girlfriend's apartment in which he snatched the child, the Hillsborough County sheriff's office said.
A passing motorist found Emanuel Wesley Murray's body on the interstate. An autopsy determined the child died of blunt trauma to the head, the county medical examiner's office said.
Video on CNN affiliate WFLA TV showed McTear being led out of a Tampa police squad car after his arrest. He ducked his head as TV cameras surrounded him on his walk into a police building.
When asked by reporters if he had thrown the child out of the car window, McTear answered, "It's a dirty game. A dirty game."
McTear is not related to the child, said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter.
Police had been called to his former girlfriend's apartment about 3:15 a.m. The mother, Jasmine Bedwell, 18, told investigators that McTear had hit her several times and threatened "to kill the both of y'all," the sheriff's department said in a statement announcing the charges.
McTear threw a car seat containing the child across the room during the fight, causing the boy to fall onto the apartment's concrete floor, investigators said. He then picked up the boy and drove off in his blue Chevrolet Impala, throwing the child out while on the interstate, the sheriff's department said.
The child's body was found around 4:30 a.m.

He should be executed for killing a poor little defenseless baby. If they need someone to pull the switch, I'm volunteering!
I am a teacher. I am so scared for my people, particularly black men, they are becoming extinct. I work with children with behavior disorders as well as convicted juvenille offenders. We far outnumber any other group in these places. We are dying like flies from chronic diseases due to our lifestyles, and no one really cares, that includes us. We are clogging jails with our children, who are rarely in touch with both parents...let alone living with them. But as I observe it, this isn't the worst. The worst and most scary part is the fact that we are producing, by the ton, children who are obsessed with death, AND HAVE NO CONSCIOUS!
Please note that the popular skeletal representations that our children wear on their jackets, hats, etc., is a subcounscious death obsession. Sadly, this is an example of the end result.
This "person" is a social parasite- what kind of person do you have to be- what kind of life do you have to have in order to do this to an innocent baby. I've seen instances where male animals often kill the offspring of other males, but humans should have the sense, the decency, the intelligence, enough to not do such awful crimes such as this. When I read the full account of what happened to that baby - all I can pray for is that in prison - no matter how bad the men are in there- they don't like baby-killers. "Have at him boys!" is all I can say!
I truely believe that he is wrong for killing the poor inncoent baby that is so wrong he was so handsome and beautiful and still is im sorry for the mother lost but you could have tooken care of that and you should never had that man around your baby i turely believe he should get electric chair and they should give hyme that shot and put hyme to sleep thats horrible and i my opppion is that he should not be able to go to the funeral b/c he was wrong for killing the poor baby man that wrong i feel so sorry for the BABY HE IS GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTN LOVE YOU EMANUEL MURRAY
THAT BASTARD SHOULD B HUNG UP ON A POLE AND BURNED FOR WHAT HE DID TO THAT POOR LITTLE INNOCENT BABY STARTING FROM THE TOES UP NEED SOMEONE TO DO IT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TOO. AND THE MOM HOW CAN YOU STILL LOVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU .
I see a culture of trash. More like animals than people. Hope is they will all kill each other.
