On Jan. 11, Destiny Lorraine Rasmussen got a text message from the babysitter.

"911-Landon please," it said.

Rasmussen rushed to her Killeen home and was greeted by the police— her 8-month-old son Landon was found unresponsive in the bathtub. The babysitter, Rasmussen said on a GoFundMe page, left her son in the tub because there was an armed man trying to get inside the house.

After arguing with the man, Rasmussen said the babysitter found her son under water in the tub and attempted to perform CPR.

Landon was transported to the hospital, where he was treated for three weeks before he died Jan. 30.

"His body was getting tired and couldn't fight much longer. Landon took his last breath in my arms and is now flying high with the angels," Rasmussen said on the GoFundMe page. "Please continue to pray for our strength."

Local police told KWTX they were still investigating the incident.
