Police have announced charges against the Hispanic father of a 4-month-old girl who was shaken to death

Jonathan Ortiz, 23, has been charged with murder after reports from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office and Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital determined that his daughter died from injuries sustained from child abuse, said South Chicago Heights Police Chief Bill Joyce. An autopsy found that the girl suffered multiple injuries from child abuse and her death has been ruled a homicide, according to the medical examiner’s office. Her injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome, Joyce said.
