Two weeks before his third birthday, two-year-old Dante Mullinix was rushed to the hospital, unresponsive. His mother’s boyfriend claimed Dante choked on animal crackers. Several days later, on September 15, 2018, Dante was pronounced dead. His death was ruled a homicide caused by traumatic brain injury with strangulation and chest compression. An autopsy revealed the toddler’s head was covered with bruises, and he also had bleeding on the brain as well as hemorrhaging inside his neck.

Police arrested 40-year-old Tyree Bowie and charged him with Dante’s murder. He currently awaits trial, but Dante’s aunt, Sarah Mullinix, and many others believe he is innocent. Did authorities in York County, Pennsylvania arrest the wrong man? Will there ever be true justice for little Dante?

This is part one of the infuriating story of Dante Mullinix.
