FAIRBANKS — A man has been charged with murder in the death of his infant daughter after allegedly shaking the baby.
A criminal complaint states that James Lee Jimieson, 22, of Fairbanks took the baby to a hospital on May 11, saying she was lethargic and wouldn’t eat, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
Tests showed the baby had extensive internal bleeding and bruising in her brain that was likely the result of non-accidental trauma. She died days later.
Police said Jimieson gave multiple explanations for what could have caused the baby’s injuries before telling investigators that he had shaken her, causing her head to hit his own once or twice.
The state’s online court record system did not immediately show an attorney for Jimieson.
