Tragedy rocks Texarkana: Child’s death leads to parents’ arrest

In a heartbreaking turn of events, authorities responded to a 911 call this afternoon at a Nichols Drive apartment complex where a five-year-old boy was found lifeless. Tragically, despite immediate resuscitation efforts by emergency services, the child did not regain consciousness.

Texarkana, Texas, police received the first reports shortly after 2 p.m., prompting emergency services to respond quickly. The little boy was quickly taken to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to the situation shortly afterwards.

In a further step, investigators arrested Terry Robinson (35) and Destiny Culvahouse (24), the child’s parents, last night. Robinson is charged with murder, while Culvahouse is charged with injury to a child resulting in serious bodily injury or death. Both are currently being held at the Bi-State Justice Center awaiting further court proceedings; Bail has not been set for either individual at this time.

Authorities have emphasized that the details of the incident remain under investigation and investigators are actively working to determine the circumstances that led to the child’s tragic death. A spokesman for the Texarkana Texas Police Department expressed condolences to family and friends affected by the loss and acknowledged the profound impact the situation has had on the community.
