The search is on for an Austin man accused of punching his three-month-old baby. Officers say 23-year-old Jose Angel Tellez has been on the run for nearly three years.
Investigators say in November 2011, officers got a call of an injured baby in the 1100 block of Rutland Drive in Austin.
"Tellez first told the authorities that arrived on scene that a child that was in his presence had become injured while he was taking a shower when he accidentally dropped that baby on his head," says Deputy U.S. Marshal Brandon Filla.
According to the arrest affidavit, a doctor at Dell Children's Medical Center stated the "injuries sustained by the victim were not consistent with the explanation provided by Tellez."
Those injuries included a fractured skull and major head trauma.
Investigators say Tellez later confessed to punching the baby.
"He changed his story and said that he had hit the baby's head with a closed fist, as well as slapping the baby prior to that because of the baby continuing to cry and he became agitated," says Filla.
But before a warrant could be issued for his arrest, officers say Tellez took off.
Officers with the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force believe he could be in Mexico.
As for the baby, Filla says, "At first doctors didn't think that this baby was going to survive that event, but luckily the baby has recovered and is still alive."
(According to articles & online wanted poster) If you have any information on Tellez's whereabouts, please call the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force at (512) 916-5393.

Thoughts? Jose Angel Tellez sounds like a guy who should never be trusted with children again for obvious reasons. My fear is that if he ever fathers another child, that child may die from any injuries inflicted by Jose. After five years on the run he is probably hiding out somewhere in Mexico.
