Hartford, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - A Hartford man has been convicted in the death of his infant daughter four years ago.

Edwin Babilonia, 28, was found guilty of manslaughter and risk of injury to a minor.


The conviction stems from the May 2018 death of Babilonia's daughter Emily.

It was on May 24, 2018 that prosecutors said Babilonia attempted to console the seven-week old girl who'd been crying incessantly.

That's when Babilonia shook the little girl to the point she developed a massive brain bleed and died four days later, prosecutors said.

The baby's mother, Ashley Perez-Rivera, pleaded guilty to risk of injury and criminally negligent homicide.

Babilonia is being held on $1 million bond.

He'll be sentenced December 9.
