A Cottage Grove man who admitted to police that he assaulted his infant daughter is charged with second-degree murder in connection with her death earlier this year.
Authorities on Wednesday arrested Angel Daniel Ramirez, 19, who admitted during questioning that he had punched the 13-month-old girl multiple times, pulled her hair out and threw a cup that hit her eye, according to the criminal complaint filed Friday in Washington County District Court. Ramirez was booked into Washington County Jail and bail was set at $1 million on Friday...
The autopsy showed "significant bruising" to all sides of the infant's head, and the medical examiner reported that the baby's brain had swollen, an indication of blunt-force trauma to the head. There also were small bruises on her trunk, arms and jaw. There were no bruises consistent with falling. There was internal bleeding of the bowel and stomach, according to the complaint. The injuries were sustained over a period of time.
