HOUSTON — Houston police say the person of interest they questioned this morning about the deaths of a father and his 2-year-old son has now been charged in the case.

Bolanle Fadairo, 38, is charged with murder and tampering with evidence in connection with the deaths of 38-year-old Michael Essien and his son Micah. He was taken into custody this morning at an apartment near the original crime scene.

Meanwhile, the victims' heartbroken family members are looking for answers.

"Tell Houston, tell the whole world that I want my nephew back. He's only 2 years old. He does not know how to hurt a fly," Jessie Okon, the toddler's aunt, told us Wednesday. "My brother has always been a peaceful man. I need my brother back."

Micah's cousin said he was a happy-go-lucky little boy.

“Micah is always cheerful, wants to be around someone – at church, always happy," Etimbuk Isaiah said.

Essien and his wife recently welcomed another baby and they also have an older son.

“She’s hanging on is all I can say. It’s a difficult thing to process right now and so tragic because nobody wakes up planning to die," Etimbuk Isaiah, a cousin, said. "And just taking it one day at a time, that’s all I can say."

Family members say Essien attended Hastings High School, attended college as an athlete, and worked at a security company. He was wearing his security guard uniform when he was killed.
