A 17-year-old father was arrested and charged in connection with the death of his two-month-old son.
Police and fire personnel responded to a home in the 4000 block of Clipper Bay Drive at 11:45 p.m. on June 22 for a report of an infant who was not breathing. The baby was taken to an area hospital and later transferred to VCU Medical Center, where he later succumbed to what doctors indicated was shaken baby syndrome.
The 17-year-old father was charged with murder on June 28 following an investigation into the incident. He is being held in the Chesterfield County Juvenile Detention Center pending an upcoming hearing in Chesterfield County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
