Kyron V. Espadron, 27, turned himself in to police Thursday (Nov. 9), two days after the NOPD announced he was wanted on an attempted murder charge.
A man wanted on a charge of attempted first-degree murder in the beating of a 6-month-old boy has turned himself in to police, the NOPD said Thursday evening (Nov. 9).
Kyron V. Espadron, 27, was booked into the Orleans Justice Center jail about 4:20 p.m. Thursday, according to jail records. He turned himself in to authorities about 3 p.m. at the NOPD’s headquarters, 715 S. Broad Street, NOPD spokeswoman Ambria Washington said.
The surrender came two days after police announced a search for Espadron, accused of causing severe internal injuries to the baby over the course of several months, including a Sept. 12 incident in the 6800 block of Parc Brittany Boulevard in New Orleans East.
Espadron was initially booked Sept. 21 with cruelty to a juvenile, but NOPD Child Abuse Detective Tony Goodwin later obtained an arrest warrant for Espadron for attempted murder due to the severity of the boy’s injuries, police said.
The baby is expected to make a full recovery, according to police.
