A man has been charged with criminal homicide in the death of a 16-month-old child.
News outlets reported 24-year-old Kortney Stanciel was initially arrested April 16 for aggravated child abuse.
Millersville detective Don Long said the child was taken off life support April 27, and on the same day, Stanciel's charges were upgraded to homicide in the death of the infant girl. Long said Stanciel confessed to unintentionally harming the child.
Police said Stanciel squeezed and shook the child to keep her from crying. The child suffered bleeding from the brain and seizure disorder.
Stanciel was being held without bond at the Robertson County Jail and has been scheduled to appear in court May 9. It was unclear if he had a lawyer.
