PORTAGE COUNTY, Ohio -- A Portage County man is charged with killing his infant daughter.
Investigators said Kenny Shears beat his 5-month-old daughter in a fit of rage because she was crying.
Angelina Shears died Wednesday night inside her home.
"My son-in-law called me and said the baby's not breathing," Angelina's grandfather said on a 911 call.
Investigators said he was racing home while on the phone with 911 and immediately started CPR when he got to the house, but it was too late.
"Actually, I was disgusted. Honestly. It broke my heart," a neighbor said.
Neighbors are still in disbelief, not only because such a young life was lost, but because of how investigators said she died.
Portage County Sheriff Duane Kaley said Kenny Shears murdered Angelina while her mom and grandfather were out of the house.
Kenny Shears was alone with his daughter when she started crying.
"He was asleep. The child was crying and woke him up," Kaley said.
He said what Kenny Shears admitted to next is hard for even a seasoned lawman to hear.
"He got frustrated and used physical force," Kaley said.
The coroner said she had multiple blunt force injuries -- at 5 months old, she was beaten to death.
Kenny Shears is charged with murder. He is being held on a $1 million bond at the Portage County Jail.
The case will go to a grand jury, but because of Angelina's age this is a death penalty eligible case if the prosecutor decides to pursue it.
