San Jose, Calif. — San Jose police released details Monday afternoon of a brutal slaying of a six-year-old boy.
Police told NBC the boy, Oscar Jiminez, was beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend in February.
Police said the couple then took the boy's body to Phoenix and buried it in the courtyard of an abandoned apartment complex.
The couple covered the boy's remains with concrete, according to police.
The two suspects in the case are the boy's mother Katherine Jiminez and her boyfriend Samuel Corona, NBC11's Daniel Garza reported.
Corona is in custody in Arizona and will be extradited back to San Jose soon police said.
Police said Corona beat the boy over something he said to his one-year-old son who was visiting their home in San Jose on Haze Street.
San Jose Police Chief Rob Davis spoke at a Monday afternoon news conference. He was very emotional as he told reporters about the slaying, NBC11 reported.
The death of Jiminez came to light recently when Katherine Jiminez was asked in court where her son was and she said he was dead.
The couple covered the boy's remains with concrete, according to police.
This is San Jose's 19th homicide victim of the year, police said Monday.
