A man is accused of beating his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter to death, and attempted to blame her 5-year-old brother as a cause for her injuries, according to court documents.
Jeho Martinez, 26, has been charged with murder and felony injury to a child in the death of Zyre Ornelas.
On Nov. 24, 2021, officers were called to Texas Children Hospital - The Woodlands to investigate after Zyre was admitted to the hospital in critical condition. Initial reports stated the little girl sustained an injury to the back of her head after falling off the bed.According to documents, Martinez told investigators that, on Nov. 22, the child’s mother had left for work at 7 a.m., and that he and Zyre were on the bed sleeping. He said around 8:30 a.m.
The pathologist report states that the injuries Zyre suffered were consistent with her being swung around and her head hitting a piece of furniture, causing a displaced skull fracture. The report also states that the child had multiple bruises consistent with older injuries. When Martinez was questioned about the older injuries, he said he had no idea how she got those injuries but that her 5-year-old brother was “usually rough with her while fighting,” according to court documents. After detectives obtained Martinez’s cellphone, they found a photo of Zyre with a large contusion on the side of her head that was as large as an adult hand from Oct. 12, 2021. They also discovered messages between Martinez and the child’s mother over a potty training incident from Nov.
