Zachary Williams (West Virginia Central Regional Jail).

A man from West Virginia is accused of violently throwing his baby son against a bed frame and the floor out of anger, which resulted in the child going limp and ceasing to breathe.

Tragically, the boy later passed away, and his father, 27-year-old Zachary Williams, is now facing charges of murder and child abuse leading to death. This incident took place around 9 a.m. on May 25 in a residence in Jane Lew, roughly 100 miles northeast of Charleston.

As detailed in a criminal complaint by the West Virginia State Police, accessed by Law&Crime, troopers responded to a call about an unresponsive infant. Upon arrival, they found paramedics administering CPR to the baby before transporting him to the hospital. Unfortunately, medical personnel declared the child dead roughly an hour later.

The boy lived at the home with his mother, father and grandparents. Troopers first interviewed the grandparents who told them the other than a reoccurring cold, the boy was fine when they left for work about 8 a.m. The boy was then in the custody of his mother and Williams.

According to the affidavit, the mother told detectives her son was “completely fine” when they woke up that morning. She allegedly said the boy was fussier than normal due to a cold and wouldn’t go down for a nap. She then woke up Williams for help because she felt herself becoming frustrated. The mother left the room and a short time later Williams yelled for her to come back. She ran back into the bedroom to see her son “limp” and barely breathing.

She had Williams call 911 and a dispatcher told her to put the child on his side. Once she did this, her son stopped breathing completely, the affidavit said. She performed CPR until medical personnel arrived.
