KETK reports, Torres was also facing a capital murder charge, but that was dropped Monday after the District Attorney\u2019s Office filed a motion to dismiss it on August 20. <\/p>\n<p>Torres and her boyfriend, Simon Lopez, 28, were indicted back in September 2011 for the death of Torres\u2019 son, Jeremy Silva. An autopsy determined Silva died from blunt force trauma. Investigators say Lopez was watching the child in November 2010, when he called one of the mother\u2019s relatives to say the boy wasn\u2019t breathing. Tyler police say Lopez left the youngster with the relative and fled. In July, he was caught in Queretaro, Mexico. Lopez entered a not guilty plea on January 24.
