A 1-month-old girl, Lovanna Wilson, was identified as the infant slain last month in a North Charleston apartment where she lived with her mother and father.
The Charleston County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide and determined she died of blunt-force head trauma. The child died Aug. 18 ar Medical University Hospital.
The infant’s father, Troy Abraham Wilson, 29, was arrested and charged with homicide by child abuse. Investigators said he called 911 around 8:30 a.m. the day Lovanna died, telling dispatchers that the child was not breathing, police said.
In arrest affidavits, detectives said that Lovanna’s skull fractures “would have taken massive force to accomplish” and that no other adult was with her at the time.
The affidavit also stated that Troy waited about three hours to call someone for help for his daughter.
