WICHITA FALLS, TX -- Police have arrested George Coty Wayman in the shooting death of his stepson this week.
Wayman, 18, is charged in the murder of 3-year-old Dominic Castro.
According to officials in Wichita Walls, witnesses initially claimed the gun accidentally discharged as the boy was jumping on a bed.

Wayman then allegedly shot the boy in the head.
Officials say physical evidence corroborates the witness accounts.
