A father has been charged with felony murder and child abuse and neglect after his daughter died in January.

Police said a grand jury in Danville handed down indictments against 30-year-old John Robert Shore Monday.

These indictments stem from an incident when officers were called to SOVAH Health emergency room on January 23 for a one-year-old that was suffering from head trauma and was unresponsive.

Police said the child's father, Shore, had taken her to the hospital for medical treatment.

Detectives immediately began an investigation into potential child abuse and neglect.

Police said the baby girl was taken to Roanoke Memorial Hospital later that evening and died two days later.

The Medical Examiner's Office determined that the child died from repeated blunt force trauma and ruled the girl's death a homicide.

Shore was arrested without incident Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of a Walmart in Stuart.

She’s beautiful. How does a family ever come back from that? I don’t think they can. He should die in jail from old age since she wasn’t given the chance to grow old.
