NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans police have opened a homicide case as they investigate the death of an infant.
WVUE-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2nd3Ln8 ) that officers responded to an address in the Gentilly Terrace neighborhood on Thursday. A police report states that officers found the baby unresponsive, and were told that he “had a fall.”
The television station reports that an autopsy by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office determined that the child died as a direct result of his injuries.
Police said further evidence prompted the reclassification of the death as a homicide.
Police said the child had been born on March 3. His name wasn’t immediately released.
