An infant boy died today at Children’s of Alabama and his parents are now charged in his death.

Jameela Biggs, 23, and Antonio Martin, 36, are charged with murder, said Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit Capt. Jack Kennedy. Authorities have not released the baby’s name, but he would have turned 3 months old on Saturday.

The investigation began about 7 p.m. Monday when the unresponsive baby was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa. The infant was then transferred to the Birmingham hospital where doctors determine he had extensive injuries, including multiple skull fracture.

Both parents were interviewed and were unable to provide an explanation for the injuries. They also admitted they were the only adults around the child when they were injured, which occurred in the 4900 block of 2nd Street East.

A medical expert examined the child extensively Tuesday and reported that the injuries were consistent with intentional physical abuse. Biggs and Martin were arrested on charges of aggravated child abuse.

The infant was placed on life support Tuesday and died of his injuries Thursday, leading to the murder charges being brought forward after a consultation with the Tuscaloosa County District Attorney’s Office.

Sheer evil what was done to this little baby.

The horrendous pain it was put through by the very people that was supposed to love and cherish their baby.

Possibly all those injuries didn't occur on the same day too.
