An anguished father was caught on tape running toward the man accused of murdering his son and repeatedly punching him in an Ohio courtroom.
During a pretrial hearing Thursday, Surveillance footage captured Tonio Hughes, the biological father of murdered 3-year-old Nylo Lattimore, attacked the child’s accused murderer Desean Brown.
Brown is accused of fatally stabbing Nylo’s mother, Nyteisha Lattimore, in December 2020. He then allegedly put Nylo in the Ohio River. The 3-year-old’s body has never been recovered despite lengthy searches.
Videos from other angles of Hughes’ attack were shared by WBNS 10TV.

Hughes continued to attempt to lunge at Brown even after being handcuffed and surrounded by three deputies. Four officers wrestled him down to the ground before he calmed down. Hughes was charged with contempt of court and sentenced to 7 days in the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Hughes’ family friend Faith Burton told Fox 19:
“Everything inside him, just the pain and everything took over. He did what I think any of us would do.”
Brown is charged with two counts of murder and one count each of felonious assault, gross abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. Cincinnati Police detectives told the judge that Nyteisha was allegedly pregnant with Brown’s child, but had a miscarriage.
They believe Brown killed her and Nylo out of retaliation. Cincinnati police specialist Kimberly Kelley testified on June 17.
“Mr Brown had told Jameica Cobb [Brown’s close friend] that he was very upset and that since she killed their baby, he was going to do something to her baby Nylo.”
