Zachary Watson has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the death of his 7-week-old daughter after pleading guilty to injury of a child, the Tarrant County District Attorney announced on Friday.

Noriah Helmer died on May 14, 2022 at the ICU at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office. She had been physically abused by Watson at their Euless home, according to authorities.

A cause of death has not been reported by the medical examiner’s report.

The baby’s mother, Shanice Helmer, 23, faces a charge of child endangerment for allegedly allowing Watson to abuse Noriah and another child, according to Tarrant County court records. She was indicted in August 2022.
