According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Roselynn Williams, the three-month-old child of Malik Joshua Williams, 22, was taken to the hospital on Aug. 3, where she was pronounced dead.
Police say the emergency room physician told the officer on the scene that the baby’s injuries included multiple healing fractures to the chest and skull, in addition to several abdominal cavity/bowel abnormalities.
When police questioned Williams, he allegedly told police he had been giving Roselynn a bath, laid her on the bed and came back in to find that she had rolled onto the floor, the affidavit said. He said she wasn’t breathing when he found her.
