The Texas man accused of kidnapping 4-year-old Cash Gernon from his Dallas home last month has been charged with capital murder in the child’s death.
Darriynn Brown, 18, faces the new charge after lab results revealed new forensic evidence that linked him to Gernon at the time of the child’s death, Dallas police said late Wednesday, without going into details.

Brown already faced kidnapping and theft charges after surveillance footage from the home where Gernon was staying appears to show him taking the boy from his crib and carrying him away from the camera’s view before his death.
