NEW ORLEANS — A Gretna man has been booked with second-degree murder in the death of his 4-month-old son after authorities said the boy suffered both recent and older head injuries inconsistent with the father’s explanation.
As our partners at The Times-Picayune report, Nicholas Pogozelski, 26, was initially arrested June 25 on a charge of second-degree cruelty to a juvenile after his son, Kamari Jones, died from a head injury following a 10-day hospital stay, Gretna Police Deputy Chief Jason DiMarco said.
Pogozelski told police he called paramedics to his home on June 17 after the baby rolled off an air mattress and hit his head, DiMarco said. Kamari was taken to a hospital, where he remained in critical condition until his death June 27.
An autopsy by the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Office found bleeding on the brain and determined the injuries included both acute and chronic subdural hemorrhages. Investigators concluded the injuries could not have been caused by a fall from an air mattress. Police rearrested Pogozelski on Tuesday on the murder charge. He was being held Thursday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in lieu of $500,000 bail
