CINCINNATI -- Police arrested an Avondale man Thursday in the death of his toddler son.

Investigators charged 27-year-old James Lyons with aggravated murder in the death of 19-month-old Jaden Jenkins.

Emergency crews took the boy Saturday from a home in the 600 block of Gholston Avenue to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Hamilton County coroner ruled the boy's death a homicide due to a blow to the head, which court documents said Lyons purposefully inflicted upon his son.

The child's death remains under investigation, and Lyons will be arraigned Friday.
