Brighton police are eyeing a father in the death last month of his 2-month-old baby, announcing on Friday that the department is investigating the death as a homicide.
Police said in a press release posted to X on Friday that the child’s biological father — Donnie Casados, 31 — is a suspect and is in custody on unrelated charges.
Officers in Brighton were dispatched to an apartment complex on South 18th Avenue on the afternoon of Aug. 17 on reports of a baby not breathing. They arrived within minutes and immediately began administering CPR to the baby, but the child died eight days later at a hospital.
The case will be handed over to the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, which will make a final decision as to what formal charges might be filed against Casados.
