Baby dies after shaking

A 2-month-old Manassas child who was found critically injured at his house last month has died, according Prince William County Police.

On the evening of Oct. 17, police responded to Daisy Court for a report of a child not breathing and determined that the child, Dominick Morales, had suffered critical head injuries. Police called it a case of shaken baby syndrome.

At the time, police charged Dominick’s father, 25-year-old Henry Morales, with felony child abuse and aggravated malicious wounding, but those charges could be upgraded to murder now that the Dominick Morales has died, police said. Morales remains behind bars without bond. The case remains under investigation.
