DANVILLE, Va. – A Danville man is set for sentencing in August for the murder of his three-month-old son.

22-year-old Antoine Juwan Jefferson was charged with  felony homicide and child abuse last August. He admitted to investigators that he grabbed his son by the cheeks and shook his head because he would not stop crying.

The investigation began August 9, when the infant’s parents drove their child to the hospital because he was unresponsive. Medical staff at Sovah Health Danville became concerned and notified police. The hospital transferred the infant to Duke University Medical Center, where he died three days later. His injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
