Dad faces 40 years in prison for murder of toddler daughter; another case of an interrupted video game (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
Such a coincidence. Just today, we posted on another "frustrated" dad who apparently killed a child when his video game was interrupted. This Daddy apparently did the same. Or shortly thereafter, when his daughter was "running around" (as toddlers tend to do) while Daddy was in the shower.
This time the video game daddy is YVES MCKINNIE, and he was babysitting while Mom was out of town.

WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE —
A Milwaukee family mourns the death of a toddler. The little girl's father is now charged in her death. The child's mother spoke to FOX6 Reporter Myra Sanchick.
Trinitee Carson's father, Yves McKinnie, said he was taking her to Chicago to see if she could model in a catalog. Instead, her mother got a call Trinitee was rushed to the hospital.
A criminal complaint says McKinnie played video games with friends late Thursday at his apartment near 75th and Brown Deer Rd. The friends left, then he told his daughter to stay on the bed until he got out of the shower. McKinnie told police the 18-months-old was running around. He admitted to hitting her in the head. Doctors discovered even more bruising on all sides of her body.
Trinitee's mother, Natisha Carson, says a large close family and her faith is getting her through, as well as her love for her other daughter Treasure. She has memories of the past 18 months.
Carson says she is not angry. She believes her daughter is in a better place where she can't be hurt again. While she's not angry, she does want justice for the man now charged in the crime.
McKinnie faces 40 years in prison for the death of his daughter. It is his first time charged with a violent crime.
