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.
North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
