HOPEWELL, Va. — An infant who police said suffered injuries consistent with shaken baby syndrome has died, the Hopewell Police Department announced Monday.
The baby's father, Nathan Travis-Nunnally, 22, is now facing a felony homicide charge in addition to charges filed prior to his son's death.
Officers were called to a motel in the 4900 block of Oaklawn Boulevard near Interstate 295 just before 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 14, after a report of an unresponsive child.
First responders found an infant who was unresponsive. He was taken to Tri-Cities Medical Center before being transferred to VCU Medical Center.
The baby boy, who family members identified as 5-month-old Skottie, died from his injuries on Friday, June 19, according to police.
Court documents obtained by CBS 6 show that Travis-Nunnally told someone the baby was "crying so much that he could not take it."
Travis-Nunnally is still being held at Riverside Regional Jail without bond.
A GoFundMe for Skottie's funeral expenses has raised more than $4,000.
