A Kinston man has been arrested and charged with murder after his 5-month-old son was admitted to the hospital in Kinston amid allegations of child abuse, officials said.

Detectives and officers were called to UNC Lenoir Health Care on Tuesday around 11:40 a.m. regarding a reported child abuse case. During the investigation, officials determined the 5-month-old victim had sustained multiple injuries to his body, authorities said.

Warrants were obtained for the child’s father, Ricardo Kadin Battle, 22, for felony child abuse. Battle was located and taken into custody without incident on Wednesday.

Officials report the child died on Thursday. As a result, Battle was charged with second-degree murder. He is now being held without bond.
