    HARRISON COUNTY, TX - Two parents arrested in connection to the death of their two-year-old son have been charged with capital murder.

    According to Harrison County jail records, Braylyn Sheppard, 25, and Brianna Jones, 22, of Beckville have been charged with capital murder and their bonds have been set at $1 million.

    Sheppard and Jones had turned themselves in to authorities in April after they were wanted in connection to the death of their son Kaisyn. At that time, the two were charged with injury to a child.

    On March 14, deputies were called to the UT Carthage emergency room regarding an unconscious 2-year-old that was brought in by ambulance.

    Medical personnel pointed out contusions on Kaisyn’s head and face. He also had internal injuries and was unresponsive and being prepared to be airlifted to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas where he later died.

    At this time, it is unknown whether these new charges are related to the previous incident.

    KLTV has reached out to the Panola County Sheriff’s Office for more information.

    PANOLA COUNTY, TX - A capital murder charge has been dropped against a Panola County mother accused of killing her two-year-old son.

    During a court appearance on Jan. 31, the state moved to dismiss the capital murder charge against 22-year-old Brianna Jones. The motion was granted and the charge was dismissed.

    Jones was charged with capital murder in connection to the death of the two-year-old son, Kaisyn. She, along with the child’s father, 25-year-old Braylyn Sheppard, turned themselves in to authorities in April 2018 after they were wanted for the death of their son.

    On March 14, deputies were called to the UT Carthage emergency room regarding an unconscious 2-year-old that was brought in by ambulance.

    Medical personnel pointed out contusions on Kaisyn’s head and face. He also had internal injuries and was unresponsive and being prepared to be airlifted to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas where he later died.

    Jones and Sheppard were originally charged with injury to a child and were later charged with capital murder.

    Jones remains charged with endangering and abandoning of a child. The bond is set at $75,000 which Jones has previously bonded out of.

    Sheppard is still charged with capital murder. He remains in the Panola County jail under a $1 million bond.

    Panola County murder trials pushed back

    By Meredith Shamburger
    The Panola Watchman

    Several murder trials scheduled to take place this fall in Panola County have been pushed back because of delays at the state crime lab, among other reasons.

    Braylyn Sheppard, the man accused of killing his 2-year-old son Kaisyn in March 2018, was set to go to trial Monday in the capital murder case, but was granted a continuance by 123rd District Judge LeAnn Rafferty earlier this month.

    Sheppard's attorneys asked for a continuance saying "further investigation involving an expert is required."
