A tragic incident in Georgetown, Texas has left a community mourning the loss of a young boy who was brutally attacked in his own home. Six-year-old Jeremy Diaz passed away this week after a long battle in the hospital following the attack, which occurred on September 11th. The suspect, Daniel Logan, has been charged with aggravated assault with a weapon and injury to a child, but the charges may be enhanced to Capital Murder pending the findings of the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office expressed their condolences to the Diaz family and vowed to support the District Attorney’s Office in their efforts to indict and prosecute the case.
Jeremy Diaz’s family created a GoFundMe page titled “Help Sweet Jeremy: His Fight for Life and Rehab” to raise funds for his medical expenses. Sadly, Jeremy’s father, Arturo Diaz, announced on the page that Jeremy had passed away after experiencing a neurostorm, a severe episode caused by his brain injury. The family described the neurostorm as six hours of “hell on earth.” Arturo Diaz shared the heartbreaking details of his son’s final moments, including their last conversation before Jeremy’s health took a turn for the worse.
According to affidavits obtained by FOX 7 Austin, the attack on Jeremy was believed to be random. The suspect, Daniel Logan, allegedly assaulted his own mother with a baseball bat before breaking into the Diaz family’s home and attacking Jeremy. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but officials have stated that they do not believe there was any prior connection between Logan and the Diaz family.
The Diaz family is now seeking support from the public, asking for donations, prayers, volunteers, and help in sharing Jeremy’s story. They describe their son as a bright and vibrant child with dreams and potential for the future. The tragic loss of Jeremy Diaz has left the community devastated and highlights the need for justice in cases of senseless violence against children.
