On June 13, 2024, 30-year-old Stephen Coffey pled guilty and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for aggravated assault that caused serious bodily injury to a family member.
On January 21, 2023, Coffey shook his 2-month-old baby when the baby's mother briefly left the home. When the mother returned, the baby was unconscious and struggling to breathe. The baby survived but is significantly disabled.
The Fort Worth Police Department investigated the case, and the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office confirmed this information.
