James Gilmore was sentenced to 15 years to life after pleading guilty to charges of murder, attempt to commit tampering with evidence and endangering children.

Gilmore was caring for his 2-month-old son when he became unresponsive. Police said he denied knowing what caused the infant to become unresponsive.

During an investigation, detectives obtained surveillance footage from the day officers were called to the apartment.

“Video revealed Mr. Gilmore taking actions to prevent [the infant] from breathing, leading to his eventual unresponsiveness,” according to the statement of facts.

The infant was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital where medical staff said his injuries were consistent with abuse, according to an affidavit and statement of facts.

The baby died from his injuries a week later.
