Calderon Jose Calderon
Mr. Calderon was charged with murder and Ms. Smith with manslaughter. Alleyne said her sister may not have immediately sought medical help for Quachaun for unknown reasons, including her fear of Mr. Calderon; her anxiety over the possibility that the city might take her children again; and Mr. Calderon's fear of further trouble with the police after his arrest on the stolen vehicle charge. On a November afternoon Aleshia Smith invited Jose Calderon, 18, a virtual stranger with a nice smile but a bad temper, to move in with her. Neighbors said that noise from the already clamorous apartment grew even louder after Mr. Calderon moved in, and that the sound of the couple's fights sometimes lasted for hours. Mr. Calderon has been charged with the murder of Ms. Smith's 4-year-old son, Quachaun Browne.
