Dad accused of beating man to death for disciplining his son
A man is accused of beating another man to death on the North Side for disciplining his child.
Jeremy Allyn Bayhi, 31, is charged with murder in the death of Michael Daniel Adan, according to court records.
Adan, 36, was allowing a woman to stay with him and intervened when her son, whom she shared with Bayhi, was assaulting her on May 26, according to an affidavit supporting Bayhi’s arrest. On May 28, Bayhi and his son went to confront Adan at his apartment in the 1300 block of Perennial Drive, according to the affidavit.
The woman went outside to tell Bayhi to leave, but he forced his way past her and inside the apartment, according to the affidavit. Bayhi punched Adan repeatedly until he fell unconscious. Adan awoke moments later, after the woman got Bayhi to go outside, and went outside to explain why he disciplined Bayhi’s child.
Bayhi again began punching
Adan until he lost consciousness, investigators said. The alleged assault continued as Adan was passed out on the stairs.
Bayhi then took off his shirt, pulled a gun from his waistband and pointed it at Adan, saying, “Don’t ever touch my son again!” the affidavit states. A passerby saw this and told police he heard a “click” come from the handgun.
Both Bayhi and his son fled as 911 was called, police said.
Adan was taken to an area hospital, where his condition worsened until his death June 5.
The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office determined his cause of death as blunt force trauma to the head.
Bail for Bayhi, who was arrested Thursday, was set at $150,000.
