(Shelby County Sheriff's Office)
A Tennessee man beat to death a boy 4 months earlier this month after discovering that the child was not his son, authorities said.
Jose Avila-Agurcia, 33, of Memphis, is charged with first degree murder for aggravated sexual assault following the death of Alexander Lizondro-Chacon. He believed that the baby was his throughout his mother's pregnancy, according to court documents obtained by the Commercial Appeal newspaper.
The child died as a result of blunt trauma as a result of a rib injury and a fractured skull, who died on April 12th. Avila-Agurcia and the boy's mother, Mercy Lizondro-Chacon, first told the police that they did not know how Alexander had been hurt, according to a report.

He is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
