Tyrell Williams, 26, accused of beating toddler

WARREN -- U.S. marshals on Monday named a Warren man as its "Fugitive of the Week." He is wanted after home surveillance footage captured an alleged assault on an 18-month-old and the child's mother.

A description of Tyrell Williams, 26, given by the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force notes he is about 6 feet, 1 inches and weighing about 150 pounds. The task force said a house in the 1500 block of Deerfield Avenue SW in Warren is his last known address.

Last week, Warren Municipal Court issued a warrant for William' arrest on charge of endangering children and domestic violence. A news release from the task force also states that Williams is wanted by the Ohio Adult Parole Authority since May of this year.

Anyone with information about Williams is asked to call 1-866-4WANTED or text keyword WANTED and tip to 847411 (tip411). Tipsters can remain anonymous and reward money is available.

A police report states that officers spoke to the mother at a home in the 1800 block of Sixth Street, but the assault captured on video took place at a home on West Market Street in Warren Township earlier this month.

The mother said Williams had come to the residence to break up with her but began punching her after she told him to "get your stuff and leave." Police noticed her child had visible markings on the right side of the face along with a slightly bloody lip.

The child's grandmother handed over video footage depicting the assault on mother and child. Police described the video footage as "hard to watch."

The report states it shows a man repeatedly punching and kicking the child, at times striking the child directly in the face and kicking him across the room.

The man then turns toward the mother, slapping and punching her as she attempted to take cover on the couch. At one point, the man body slams the mother while the child was being held by her.

The police report states that officers saw two large contusions on her forehead, swelling on her eyes and nose, and a small cut on the nose.
