A seven-month-old boy died after being hospitalized Dec. 31 with rib fractures and other injuries, making the infant Baltimore’s first homicide victim of 2013.

On Monday night, homicide detectives charged the child’s father, 29-year-old Francois Browne, with first-degree murder, police said.

Child protective services had contacted police on New Year's Eve, saying the child, Kendell Browne, was in the University of Maryland's pediatric center with multiple injuries and was unlikely to survive.
