Wake County father charged with murder in 2024 infant death
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A man was arrested in connection with the 2024 death of a Wake County infant, the Wake County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday.
The investigation started on Oct. 28, 2024, when deputies received a report of an injured infant taken to a hospital. On Nov. 1, the baby died from her injuries.
Since that day, our investigators have conducted a thorough investigation and stayed in communication with the Wake County District Attorney's Office and the Medical Examiner's Office.
Earlier this month, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for the baby's father, 25-year-old Christopher Gonzales. He was charged with murder.
Gonzales was taken into custody on Tuesday and processed into the Wake County Detention Center.
"On behalf of the entire agency, we extend our deepest condolences and prayers to the victim's family and all impacted," Sheriff Willie Rowe said. "I want to thank the WCSO investigators who continued to work this case to provide answers and make way for justice for even the youngest victims in our community."
This is an ongoing investigation. No other details were immediately released.
