This tragic incident came to light when the boy’s father desperately sought help from a neighbor, Dustin Stober, on November 6, 2018. Stober testified that the father arrived at his house, holding his son and pleading for assistance. The scene was filled with distress and panic, as Stober’s wife dialed 911 and Stober began performing CPR on the baby.
During the April 2021 hearing, Stober described the father as visibly upset and crying, while Perry appeared emotionless. This stark contrast in their reactions only added to the heart-wrenching nature of the situation.
The baby was immediately rushed to Antelope Valley Hospital and later airlifted to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Tragically, he passed away the following day, leaving a community in mourning.
Dr. Matthew Miller, who conducted the autopsy, testified that the baby’s cause of death was blunt force neck trauma, ruling it a homicide. This revelation further deepened the sorrow surrounding this devastating loss.
Dr. Carol Berkowitz, a child abuse pediatrician, provided her expert opinion during the 2021 hearing. After reviewing the case records, she concluded that the baby had been subjected to a shaking motion near the time of his death, contradicting Perry’s initial denial. This testimony shed light on the true nature of the events leading to this tragedy.
As a result of her guilty plea, Perry has waived her right to file an appeal regarding the case. However, the charges of murder and assault on a child causing death will likely be dismissed.
