A man has been arrested in the death of his 1-year-old daughter at an apartment in west Houston earlier this week.

Christopher Washington, 35, is charged with capital murder in the death of Sandrell Crosby at the child's home at 2929 Hayes Road near Meadowglen about 3 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Houston Police Department.

Washington is being held in the Harris County jail without bond, according to Harris County records. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday.

Police said the baby had wounds on her head and body and was rushed to Texas Children's Hospital, where she later died.

When Washington was questioned by investigators, he admitted he had assaulted the baby and caused her death, police said.
