LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A Lubbock man has been charged with capital murder and is being held on a $2 million bond after he told police he stuffed a 10-month-old child into a backpack and left her in the trunk of his vehicle for more than five hours on Tuesday.

According to the Lubbock Police Department, 27-year-old Trevor Rowe picked up the child at his home Tuesday morning. Rowe and the child’s mother live together. Rowe is the mother’s boyfriend and is not the father of the child.

The arrest warrant says Rowe picked up 10-month-old Marion Rebecca Jester-Montoya and took her to his job site. Before leaving his vehicle at work, he stuffed the child into a backpack and left her in the front passenger seat floorboard for several hours.

When he checked on the child later, he found she got out of the backpack. So he put her back inside the backpack and continued to check on her periodically.

Around lunchtime, he checked on the child again and saw she was still breathing but crying and zipped up the backpack, before getting fast food. After lunch, he then put the child — still zipped in the backpack — in his trunk.

1. He tortured this child to death.

I wonder if he’ll face the death penalty?

RIP, little one.

2. This really tests my opposition to the death penalty

Right now I want to stuff him in a backpack. Even if I have to cut him in pieces.

4. It's why I'm not against the death penalty.

I know a lot of the party opposes it, and that’s ok. But for me and what I’ve seen and been exposed to in my life, I believe death is an appropriate sentence for some crimes, both as punishment, and as a way to protect the community.

3. Absolute monster

Reading this, I lost my breath. Horrific.

Rest in peace little one...

5. I'm not normally in favor of the death penalty.

But I'm willing to make an exception in this case.

6. I'd happily sentence this thing to death
