A 23-year-old father has been charged with aggravated child abuse and first-degree murder for allegedly shaking his 2 1/2-month-old daughter in Winter Springs, Florida, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Ventrel Gammons was with baby Samiyah over two years ago while the baby's mother was away, and the child reportedly stopped breathing. Upon medical examination, it was concluded that the baby died of internal trauma (blunt force trauma) to the head. In addition to abusive head trauma (shaken baby syndrome), the little girl suffered four broken ribs and had broken her leg only one month before the incident. Due to severe head injuries from the alleged abuse, the girl died. Gammons' trial was scheduled for September 29 at the time of the report.
