FORTH WORTH, Tx. (CNN) -- A 17-year-old male is in jail Saturday, charged with killing his girlfriend's 3-year-old son while performing a wrestling move on the toddler.

Fort Worth, Texas, police said John Gonzalez, 17, was baby-sitting Dylan McGaughy around 8 a.m. (9 a.m. ET) Friday when the incident occurred.

Police said that as the two were playing, Gonzalez threw the child on the ground. He then threw himself into the child's midsection, leading with his elbow.

"The boyfriend was doing wrestling moves on the little boy," said Lt. Duane Paul. "He dropped his elbow into his stomach area."

Police said the boy's 23-year-old mother was at work at the time of her child's death.

Some circumstances surround the toddler's death resemble those in a 1999 Florida case involving Lionel Tate, then 12, and six-year-old Tiffany Eunick.

While Tate's own defense team did not dispute he beat Eunick to death, they argued Tate was a wrestling fan imitating moves he had seen on television and unaware of the damage he might cause.

A Florida jury convicted Tate, now 14, of first degree murder in January. A judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole in March.

Of course, having a O&A mind, I feel like doing a Hispanic joke about a 23-year old mother and a 17 year-old boyfriend named Gonzalez, but I'll resist.

Otherwise, what does an elbow drop have to do with the WWF. Granted its the rocks move and other people in wrestling use it.

this is so rediculous, if someone to be punched out, would it be a boxing related death, if it were just a fist fight outside,the kid is 17 and the mother of the child is 23, and it referred to her as his girlfriend, what a winner couple that must be
