Columbus man accused of fatally throwing baby to ground

COLUMBUS (AP) — Police in Ohio say a 3-month-old baby boy was thrown to the ground repeatedly by his father during a domestic dispute and died at a hospital.

Columbus police have charged 20-year-old Quindell Sherman with murder. Detectives say in a news release that Sherman slammed the infant down several times Tuesday night amid a dispute with the child’s mother outside the woman’s home.

Sherman was arrested a short time later.

Police say the baby was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died there.

Court records do not list an attorney for Sherman. He’s scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning.
