An Oklahoma man who previously pleaded guilty to assaulting his child’s mother has now been arrested for allegedly killing the 9-month-old.
Hunter Allen Smiley, 25, of Newcastle was arrested this month after the infant died in the hospital, according to a news release from Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI).
On April 10, officers from the Newcastle Police Department responded after they received a call reporting that a 9-month-old was unresponsive at a home. Upon arrival, the officers found the infant in Smiley’s care.
Shortly after, the baby was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, where he suffered internal bleeding in his brain and hemorrhaging behind his eyes, local outlets KFOR and KOKH-TV reported.
The infant died two days later on April 12. An exact cause and manner of death have not yet been made public.
Prior to the baby’s death, the Newcastle Police Department requested the help of the OSBI to investigate potential child abuse, and OSBI special agents spoke with Smiley.
He was charged with first-degree murder and booked into McClain County Jail that evening.
According to court records obtained by KFOR, Smiley has a previous history of abuse with the baby’s mother.
