Florida authorities accuse two parents in Florida of violently shaking their 7-week-old daughter, who later dies. Prosecutors say the infant suffered fatal injuries, described as consistent with “violent shaking,” and that the case involves serious abuse allegations.
According to reporting, the parents initially give an explanation for what happened. They reportedly claim the baby was fed a bottle and placed in a bassinet to nap before being found unresponsive. Investigators also describe the parents’ behavior after the child is discovered, including that they were allegedly playing the video game “Call of Duty” at the time.
While outlets differ in the tone and level of detail, both describe the central allegations: the baby is found unresponsive after a brief period at home, the parents face arrest, and prosecutors contend the injuries are the result of intentional violence rather than an accident. The case is framed around the parents’ initial account and the evidence investigators say supports abuse.
