Autistic, non-verbal boy, 5, is beaten to death ‘by his father who assaulted the child until he suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage’

An autistic, non-verbal boy was allegedly beaten to death by his father, who prosecutors say brutally assaulted him until he suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage.

Five-year-old Karter Holloway died on New Year’s Day at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Hospital as a result of his injuries from the beating.

Amir Devon Hines, 24, has been charged with murder and child abuse and is being held without bond; It is unclear if he has entered a plea at this time.

‘He was always happy, just bopping. Just snooping around all the time. He was my “bop-bop,” said Tiffani Holloway, Karter’s maternal grandmother ABC-11.

Hines, who is due back in court on Monday, told the family that Karter had fallen off his bicycle when Karter was admitted to the hospital, Holloway said.

The Raleigh Police Department received a call from UNC Chapel Hill Hospital staff on December 31 regarding a serious assault on a child.

According to doctors, the boy died the next day from a brain hemorrhage resulting from his injuries.

The five-year-old, who had autism and was non-verbal, is survived by a two-year-old sister and the rest of the family.

“He loved me,” Holloway continued WRAL. ‘He couldn’t talk. He had words, but did not speak in sentences. He had ways of letting you know.”

The grandmother said Karter loved being in the water and superheroes.

“The process of dealing with the crime – I can’t deal with that… the process of never seeing Karter again, that’s something I’m having a hard time with,” Holloway said.

It is reported that Hines showed no remorse during his first court appearance when a judge informed him that Karter had died.

“Medical reports told us the medical truth, which was that he was beaten all over. Karter had bruises from head to toe,” Holloway said, unable to hold back her tears.

“That will help us in this grieving process because we now know the truth,” she added. ‘To know what Karter went through in those last moments when he was alert and alive.

As families continue to search for the truth behind Karter’s heartbreaking death, they gathered Saturday for his funeral.

“Of all deaths, that of a child is the most unnatural and the most difficult to bear,” said Dr. Enoch Holloway, Karter’s great uncle.

‘He loved life. He loved his family,” Letitia Tillery, a teacher, told the crowd. “When he hugged you, it was full of love and compassion. He squeezed happiness into your soul.”

“Death seems like a cruel thief when it strikes the young,” said Enoch. “If I can say something I have confidence in, Karter is with the Lord.”

Kennedy Holloway, Karter’s aunt, wrote on a GoFundMe page set up for his funeral expenses: “Now that we have put our BopBop to rest, we will begin the healing process.

“This may be difficult because of the legal issues involved, but I trust that God will see us through that as well,” she wrote.

Kennedy thanked supporters who contributed to the GoFundMe, which raised more than $10,000 early Sunday morning.

She wrote, “I especially want to thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. You have no idea how much it helped!’
