A mugshot has been released for the 39-year-old Texas man accused of stabbing his 9-year-old son to death last week.
Ponnazhakan Subramanian was arraigned on a capital murder warrant and given a $1 million bond. He was taken to jail after being hospitalized for treatment of self-inflicted wounds, according to police.
Police said Subramanian killed his son, before turning the knife on himself.
It happened on January 6 in a neighborhood near Highway 380 and Custer Road.
Someone called police and said their neighbor found her son “unconscious and bleeding” inside a home.
Responding officers forced their way into the home and said they found Subramanian hurting himself with a knife.
Police said officers found his 9-year-old son in the garage with multiple stab wounds. No one else was found in the home.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hundreds of people gathered Monday for a candlelight vigil to mourn the young life lost.
Some are leaving notes of prayer outside the home, along with other items.
