DEER PARK, Texas (KTRK) -- A Deer Park man has been charged with first degree felony murder in the death of his own son.

The deadly attack happened at about 11 a.m. Sunday. Officers were called to a home in the 1300 block of Meadowlark Street for a domestic disturbance.

When officers arrived, they found Sherman Fricks Jr., age 27, suffering from multiple injuries. Officers performed CPR until the arrival of EMS crews. The victim was taken to Bayshore Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Fricks was arrested and charged. Bond was not set as of early Monday.
