CORAOPOLIS, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man has been charged with beating his girlfriend’s young son, who later died from his injuries.
Tyler Scott Mason, 25, of Burgettstown, was alone with 3-year-old Aiden Lombardi in the girlfriend’s apartment in Coraopolis when the child became unresponsive Tuesday night, Allegheny County authorities said. The boy was taken to a hospital but died the following night.
The child’s mother had left him with Mason while she drove a friend home. Mason soon called his girlfriend and told her the boy had stopped breathing. She told Mason to call 911, but because he was so distraught, she called herself.
