Tyree Bowie told Detective Sergeant Kyle Hower that Dante Mullinix died after choking on food. But Hower said that hardly explained bruises on the boy's neck.
Dante was comfortable with Tyree Bowie, who was helping Dante and Leah in the weeks before Dante died, said Sarah Mullinix. She believes there was a possible neck injury visible in this photo, days before Dante suffered fatal injuries.“He was in my care, man. He was in my care. I wish I could have protected him,” Tyree Bowie said in a recorded interview with police the day after he brought a bruise-ridden, unresponsive two-year-old to the York Hospital in 2018.
“I’m all confused,” Bowie said as Hower read him the Miranda Rights during the first interview. “Am I arrested?” “She’s saying she’s a disinterested mother,” Bowie said. “Dante bangs his head off the walls. I didn’t believe her at first… But she sent me a video of him doing it.” Bowie said Dante’s head hit the car door window, and explained when Dante didn’t respond, he began giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
“Listen, the thing is you tried, man,” Hower said, initially comforting Bowie. “Things happened. You can’t change anything that happened in the past. All you can do is move forward.” Prosecutors now accuse Bowie of doing just that and choking the child, leading to the bruising on Dante’s neck.
