CADIZ, Ky. (WTVF) — A Caldwell County man has been charged with murder following the death of his 1-month-old son, according to Kentucky State Police.
KSP Post 1 said troopers received a report Saturday, Sept. 26, that a 1-month-old infant from Trigg County had been found unresponsive early that morning.
The infant was flown to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital with life-threatening injuries and died later that same day, police said.
Following an autopsy and what KSP described as an extensive investigation, detectives arrested 22-year-old Givonte T. Riley of Princeton, Kentucky.
Police identified Riley as the infant’s father. He was charged with murder and booked into the Christian County Jail.
The investigation remains ongoing.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
