Brandon J. Wilson, 23, of Portsmouth, Ohio, was arrested on Monday. The Scioto County Sheriff's Department was notified that a 10-month old baby boy was transported from the Southern Ohio Medical Center to the Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus on Nov. 19 for life-threatening injuries, a news release from the sheriff's department said. The baby later succumbed to his injuries and died the next day.
Detectives said they spoke with medical staff and learned the baby was living with his mother and her boyfriend in Wheelersburg, Ohio. During the investigation, detectives said they questioned Wilson and later charged with murder. Detectives said there also was a 3-year old child in the home.
The sheriff's department said Wilson had signed the birth certificate as the father of the baby, but is not the biological father of the boy. Wilson was scheduled to be in the Portsmouth Municipal Court on Tuesday. More charges could be presented to the Scioto County grand jury.
