Looks Like Leon Bigleggins, MMA Wannabe, Used 4-Year-Old Dylan As Practice
Quote:
A Blue Lake man is in custody on suspicion of murdering 4-year-old Dylan Blount-Chambers -- the grandson of the woman he is dating, according to the boy's mother.
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office arrested Leon Alyious Bigleggins, 25, after detectives served a search warrant at a house on Sabertooth Road near Titlow Hill on Sunday afternoon.
Blount-Chambers' grandmother reportedly found the child having difficulty breathing late Saturday night. Donna Ray Blount called an ambulance and the boy was transported to Mad River Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11 p.m.
The child's body had signs of ongoing abuse, the Sheriff's Office reported, with severe bruises that prompted detectives to investigate further.
[...]
Tracy Blount said her son was staying at his grandmother's house for the summer, and that she'd dropped him off on July 3, the last time she'd seen him.
”I'm still in shock,” Tracy Blount said. “I really don't know anything at this point.”
Tracy Blount said that Bigleggins was dating her mother, Donna Ray Blount, who works cleaning homes and doing yard work during the day. Bigleggins -- a beginning mixed martial arts fighter -- would watch Blount-Chambers when Donna Blount was away, something that Tracy Blount said she had no reason to be uncomfortable with.
”Dylan loved him,” Tracy Blount said. “I don't want to believe that he (Bigleggins) is involved, but they think he is.”
[...]
Detectives working on the case said that Bigleggins is the only suspect in the case at this point, and that interviews with the family would continue later this week.
As an amateur MMA fighter, he's had one fight. He lost in spectacular fashion:

But the highlight reel moment of the night was Lamar Gosey’s 13-second TKO of Leon Big Leggins, which Luo described as being one of the most shocking fights he’d ever seen. Especially given his experience level (four months), Gosey’s aptitude was apparent.
i am apalled at some of the things being said here...i love my son very much and he enjoyed his time with his grandma. i want the man who did this dead and i never would have imagined that he would be hurt there. i had no idea that he was being left in leons care during the day.also i do not appreciate the times-standard twisting the words i said. i did not say that i didn't believe leon bigleggins did it, i said i can not believe that someone he loved so much could do this to him and who i thought loved him in return.
