Alijah Mullins
3 months old
Died at the hands of his father

GALVESTON — An Alvin man told Philadelphia police he stomped his 3-month-old son to death to stop him from crying, according to an affidavit made public Wednesday.
Travis "T.J." Mullis, 21, "admitted taking Alijah Mullis out of his car seat and stated that the only way to stop Alijah Mullis from crying was to kill him," according to the affidavit.
The affidavit, which partially relied on statements Mullis made to Philadelphia police, was prepared Friday by Galveston police Sgt. Annie Almendarez so that Pennsylvania authorities could hold Mullis on a capital murder charge.
Mullis waived extradition and returned to Texas on Tuesday, arriving at Bush Intercontinental Airport at 10:30 p.m. He was taken to the Galveston County Jail.
His bail has been set at $1 million.
In a hearing that was not open to the public, Mullis appeared before a magistrate in the jail at 7:50 a.m. Wednesday to hear a charge of capital murder read to him, sheriff's office spokesman Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said.
Police Lt. Jorge Trevino said investigators met with Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk to discuss the evidence gathered in Pennsylvania, including an examination of Mullis' car.
Sistrunk said he now must decide when to seek an indictment from a grand jury. If Mullis is indicted, the case will be assigned to a district judge. Texas law allows a capital murder charge in the slaying of a child younger than 6.
Investigators also are arranging a meeting with Caren Kohberger, 27, the mother of the slain child, Trevino said.
Trevino said Kohberger's attorney has contacted police and pledged her full cooperation in the investigation.
Although a housemate had said Mullis was last seen about 6:30 a.m. Jan. 29, the day Alijah was slain, the affidavit says that Kohberger told police that he left the trailer they shared in Alvin at 4:30 a.m.
Mullis was supposed to have returned at 9 a.m. so that Alijah could be fed, the affidavit says.
A couple looking for wildlife discovered Alijah's diaper-clad body about 9 a.m. that day in an undeveloped area on Seawall Boulevard about a mile east of Ferry Road on the island's east end.
Police began a search for Mullis the same day after Kohberger identified Alijah from a photo of the body.
Using information from the Galveston police investigation, Brazoria County issued a warrant for Mullis' arrest Jan. 31 on a charge of enticing a child. He is accused of taking an 8-year-old from her bed and asking her to pull down her pants.
Mullis walked into a Philadelphia police station Friday and said he was wanted for murder in Texas.
He gave a statement saying that he stomped on Alijah's head three or four times until he felt the skull collapse.
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS LITTLE ONE
NO PAIN,NO WORRY.
NO FEAR UP ABOVE,
JUST FREEDOM,HAPPINESS
AND ETERNAL LOVE
SWEET DREAMS IN HEAVEN TONIGHT LITTLE ANGEL,YOUR SAFE IN HEAVEN AND SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS.xxx
