LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Police say a Little Rock 3-month-old died after suffering severe brain injuries from abuse that officers said came from the infant’s teenage father.

Little Rock Police Department Officials said the infant was brought to a local hospital on the morning of April 11, 2024. Doctors first diagnosed the brain injuries before the child died in the hospital.
