EDINBURG — An Edinburg man was formally charged with injury to a child after police say he shook his 3-month-old daughter when she wouldn’t stop crying.

The girl remained in critical but stable condition Wednesday night, said Peter De La Garza, assistant police chief.

The 23-year-old Sergio Suarez Jr., who said he sells accessories at a local flea market, looked upset and angry as he stood before Edinburg Municipal Judge Terry Palacios at a hearing Wednesday.

The judge told Suarez of the charge against him and set his bond at $100,000 before sending him to the Hidalgo County Jail.

Suarez was arrested Tuesday after an investigation into the violent shaking of a baby that resulted in brain hemorrhaging, De La Garza said.

The baby was hospitalized with a fever Monday, police Lt. Oscar Treviño said Tuesday.

Hospital staff contacted police when they noticed that the child had injuries of a suspicious nature, which in turn began an investigation into the matter, De La Garza said.

Investigators met with the father and subsequently charged him in the case, De La Garza said. The mother of the child was not charged in relation to the case.

Injury to a child is a first-degree felony and is punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
