Father Arrested In Death Of One-Year-Old Boy

The father of a one-year-old boy is behind bars for the death of his son.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's office says 33-year-old Terence Ransom who was arrested yesterday is facing charges that include first-degree murder and domestic abuse battery.

The coroner ruled that the child, Josiah Crockett, died Saturday of multiple blunt force injuries to the chest and abdomen.

Ransom's live-in girlfriend told police she found him standing over the infant and yelling profanities at the child.

The little boy's biological mother has been in jail since 2017 on a second-degree murder charge.
