CINCINNATI, OHIO - A 25-year-old Ohio man will spend the rest of his days in prison for the murdering his ex-girlfriend and her 3-year-old son after tossing both of them off a bridge.
Desean Brown pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and was sentenced Wednesday to life behind bars without the possibility of parole for the deaths of 29-year-old Nyteisha Lattimore and her son, Nylo Lattimore. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors took the death penalty off the table, the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office said in a press release.
Prosecutors said Brown fatally stabbed Lattimore 11 times in the neck on Dec. 5, 2020, in her Cincinnati apartment. On Dec. 6, 2020, he put Nylo in his stroller, went to the Newport Southbank Bridge — also known as the Purple People Bridge, which connects Cincinnati to neighboring Newport, Kentucky — and threw him into the Ohio River.
The boy was still alive when he hit the ice-cold water. His body has never been recovered.

According to a courtroom report from local NBC affiliate WLWT, prosecutors said Brown then bought a body bag on eBay. On Dec. 11, 2020, he ordered an Uber and transported the body bag back to that same bridge and tossed it over the edge. But the bag became stuck on a ledge; a security guard found it the next day and realized what was inside.
