Police in Louisville say a 6 year-old boy has died of head trauma, four days after his mother’s boyfriend allegedly assaulted him.
Louisville Metro Police said in a Facebook post that the boy, who hasn’t been identified, was pronounced dead Monday (1/23) morning.
Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell says the assault charge filed against 23 year-old Darrell Ditto after his arrest Friday (1/20) has been upgraded to murder. Police initially responded Thursday (1/19) to Ditto’s residence regarding a report of a boy in cardiac arrest. The child was taken to the hospital with critical head injuries.
It’s not clear whether anybody else has been charged.
