A 27-year-old man from Virginia is facing decades in prison for beating his 2-month-old daughter to death while she was crying during his Xbox gaming session, according to authorities.

La’Shaun Quintae Holloway received a 50-year prison sentence, with 20 years suspended, resulting in a 30-year imprisonment, as reported by the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney’s Office in a press release. In August, a jury found Holloway guilty of second-degree murder and child abuse following a three-day trial concerning the 2019 death of his daughter, whose name has not been disclosed.

According to prosecutors, Holloway was alone with the girl on Dec. 20, 2019, at his home in the 1100 block of Woodcock Lane in Virginia Beach.

“On this date, while the baby was under Holloway’s sole supervision, family members overheard him shouting obscenities at the baby through an Xbox headset,” the press release noted. “The baby then ceased crying and was discovered unresponsive soon after.”

First responders rushed the girl to the hospital where doctors put her on life support. She died days later.

An autopsy revealed she had sustained 26 rib fractures in various stages of healing, chest wall bruising, a broken clavicle, a skull fracture, bruising around her eyes, and a significant brain hemorrhage.

“Medical professionals determined the injuries were the result of abusive head trauma,” prosecutors said.

The sentencing guidelines recommended a roughly 23-year sentence, but the judge exceeded this due to the severity of the injuries, the child’s age, and the cruel nature of the murder, prosecutors explained.

A grand jury indicted Holloway on the second-degree murder and child abuse charges in October 2021. By then, Holloway was already behind bars in nearby Chesapeake for an unrelated child abuse and neglect conviction. He also was convicted of felony eluding police, hit and run and DUI. He has previous convictions of carrying a concealed weapon, second offense, petit larceny and failure to appear.
