1YO’s Death From ‘Severe Injuries’ Days After Easter Leads To Charges Against Two Suspects

Two suspects are under arrest in Duval County, Florida, after a 1-year-old with “severe injuries” died days after being brought to the hospital on Easter Sunday, authorities announced.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said that the young victim, identified only as a 1-year-old child, “had been transported to a local hospital with multiple severe injuries” on April 9. Over the course of the investigation, authorities said, it was determined that both Travcorvis Levon Strickland, 39, and Cornelia Pa’dreka Roberts, 21, played a role in the baby’s death.

After it became clear that the “severity” of the 1-year-old’s injuries might turn the case into a homicide investigation, the sheriff’s office said investigating Special Assault Unit detectives began a joint probe with the Homicide Unit. Tragically, the victim died four days after being brought to the hospital, according to the sheriff’s office.

“During the ensuing investigation, detectives reviewed the available evidence and conducted interviews with those potentially having access to the child,” authorities said, indicating that the two suspects had such access and were, therefore, responsible for the 1-year-old’s fatal injuries. The sheriff’s office said nothing specific about how the suspects are linked to one another or the victim.

Strickland faces charges of aggravated child abuse and second-degree murder, charges that could put him behind bars for life if proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Strickland has been declared indigent and was appointed a public defender, according to the court docket. His bond was set at $500,000.

The sheriff’s office, citing an interview of co-defendant Roberts, described the second suspect’s role in the baby’s death as “key.” Roberts faces aggravated manslaughter of a child by culpable negligence, a first-degree felony charge punishable upon conviction by up to 30 years.

Such a cute little guy, just starting to grow up into a handsome young man. He never had a chance.

They beat the crap out of that baby. That is why he never had a chance.

So senseless and tragic. I am so tired of the evil and vile acts people are subjecting these babies to. Don't have them if you are not going to love them.

A man will serve life behind bars for the death of 1-year-old Elijah Jackson.

JSO began investigating the case on April 9, 2023, when the baby was taken to UF Health and then Wolfson Children’s Hospital with multiple severe injuries, according to an arrest report. Elijah died several days after being admitted.

The child’s mother, Cornelia Roberts, was at brunch with friends when she received a phone call from Tracorvis Strickland, who is not the child’s father, saying that the baby had vomited and stopped breathing.

Strickland told police he laid the child down for a nap with another person and when he went to check on them, he found the baby choking, vomiting and limp.

Strickland called 911 and started performing CPR, then Elijah was taken to the hospital, according to the report.

Jackson’s grandmother said he went into cardiac arrest and suffered internal injuries, bleeding on the brain, broken bones and a vertebrae on his spine was chipped.

Police ruled the child’s death as a homicide and interviewed Strickland. He was charged with murder in the second degree and aggravated child abuse.
