An Augusta firefighter is charged with murder in the death of a toddler.
According to a release from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, On May 1, Charles Sconyers picked up his girlfriend's 1-year-old son from daycare.
They returned to his girlfriend's home, according to the report, and Sconyers, who has been identified as a Richmond County firefighter says he heard a scream before he found the child face down on the patio.
Sconyers told investigators he gave emergency aid to the child until EMT's arrived.
But the sheriff's office says that's not what happened. They are not releasing what they believe happened or how the child died, but Sconyers is charged with murder.
The boy, according to investigators, was only a few weeks away from turning 2 years old.
