LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Three-month-old Greyson Torres died from physical abuse, according to the Fayette County coroner.

"He was basically my pride and joy; he has saved me through a lot," said his aunt, Gloria Torres.

His parents, Amancio Torres-Trevino and Kaela Walker were arrested Tuesday by Lexington Police. They're facing criminal abuse charges.

"I just don't understand why they did this to him because he didn't deserve this; he couldn't fight for himself; I mean, he's only three months," said Torres.

Another aunt, Lora Villasana, told LEX18 that Greyson had critical injuries. He was taken off life support Wednesday evening.

"I feel like I failed Greyson," said Villasana. "I think I could have done more, I should have done more, and I feel like I failed my sisters because I should have been there."

In total the bond for both Torres-Trevino and Walker has been set at $150,000 each full cash. Their next court appearance is Monday October 7.

"They need to pay for what they did," said Villasana. "There's going to be justice for Greyson; he deserves justice."

The family is planning a balloon release later this week. A GoFundMe has been created for funeral expenses; more information can be found here.
