A suspect charged with the death of a one-year-old boy in Georgia was found under his mother s bed when officers arrested him, according to reports.
Jamarius Khalil Dixon, 19, was apprehended by officers after his girlfriend s baby boy Jayce Gibson was declared dead on February 24, 2021. The young toddler was rushed as an emergency to Macon s Coliseum Northside Hospital after his mother and Dixon said they had noticed Jayce had become unresponsive.
Jayce s cause of death could not be determined at the time and an autopsy at the GBI Medical Examiners Office was scheduled for March 1, according to a statement released by Bibb County Sheriff s Office.
An autopsy later showed that the 1-year-old died of head trauma, authorities said.
An investigation identified Dixon, who was described as the roommate/boyfriend of the child s mother, as the suspect, the sheriff s office said.
No details on what led authorities to suspect Dixon were immediately provided.
Dixon was charged with murder and first-degree cruelty to children. He was being held without bond at the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center.
