The body of a 7-month-old baby boy was found in Oklahoma City on Thursday morning, a day after an AMBER Alert was issued for infant, Jody Minjarez.
FOX25 reports that Victor Minjarez, the father of the child, was arrested after authorities found him hiding out in a home off of the 3000 block of Venice Blvd. Police issued an AMBER Alert for Jody on Wednesday after Minjarez reportedly sent a disturbing text message to the baby’s mother.

Authorities issued an AMBER Alert after learning of the suspect’s text message to the child’s mother. Police said because of the message, they felt Jody was in imminent danger. Minjarez was found on Wednesday night, and the AMBER Alert was canceled. At that point, however, they hadn’t yet found the baby. Shortly after, Jody’s lifeless body was found inside the home off of Venice Blvd.
Minjarez is facing not only a first-degree murder charge, but also one felony count of desecrating a human corpse.
