A Welsh, Louisiana, man was arrested on June 20, 2019, for allegedly beating his two-month-old child, according to Welsh Police.
The department says officers were dispatched to a home after receiving a report of a two-month-old child that was not breathing.
Once arriving on the scene, first responders were able to transport the child to a local hospital for treatment. After arriving at the hospital the child was airlifted to a medical center in Lafayette on life support.
At the scene, detectives interviewed the father of the child, Zackary Chevallier, 22, who they say admitted that he had struck the child several times in the back of the head to stop the baby from crying.
The medical center in Lafayette determined the child died as a result of internal injuries to its brain.
Chevallier's charges have been upgraded to manslaughter for the death of his child.
