ANSONIA — Police are leaning toward shaken baby syndrome as the manner of death in the homicide of an infant boy who lived on Hubbell Avenue, Lt. Andrew Cota said Wednesday.
The boy, Kyle Robinson, who was 5 months old, died Sunday, and the cause was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner, which conducted an autopsy on Tuesday.
Police said they have a suspect, but didn’t expect to make an arrest Wednesday, as the investigation continues and they have more interviews to conduct.
