<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As if white privilege didn’t already exist, a Texas man is accused of trying to get away with the murder of his baby mama by disguising himself as a Black Man by using “blackface” and a fake beard.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Andrew Charles Beard, 33, surrendered himself to Carrollton police this week after learning a warrant had been issued for his arrest, according to <a href="https://people.com/crime/texas-man-who-allegedly-killed-mother-of-his-daughter-wore-blackface-and-fake-beard-as-disguise-cops/">People</a>. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beard is charged with murder in connection with the death of Alyssa Burkett, the mother of his 1-year-old daughter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now the cops are saying that in an attempt to avoid detection, Beard actually wore a fake beard and applied dark makeup to his entire face. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Authorities say Beard tried to shield his identity from security cameras and witnesses and it initially worked as two witnesses did, in fact, report that a Black suspect and not a white man shot Burkett in the head before stabbing her repeatedly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The attack occurred outside the Greentree Apartments where Burkett was a manager. Police arrived to find her outside, on the complex&#8217;s front steps, with several of her co-workers attempting to render first aid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the affidavit, cops found dark liquid foundation and a fake beard with cosmetic glue in a car that they believed to belong to Beard.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As far as potential motive goes, authorities learned Beard and Burkett had been involved in a bitter custody battle over their daughter.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Burkett was awarded custody of the child on Sept. 30, and the affidavit alleges police discovered tracking devices on Burkett&#8217;s car as well as her current boyfriend&#8217;s vehicle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beard is now being held without bail in the Dallas County Jail. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their child was unharmed and is currently a ward of the state, according to PEOPLE.</span></p>
