PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland police say they have arrested a man on a charge of killing his 29-day-old son.
The police said Saturday that 20-year-old Gabriel Phelps was being held on a charge of aggravated murder.
Police say the infant, Jacoby Phelps, appears to have died of traumatic injuries. The police spokesman, Sgt. Greg Stewart, says autopsy results are expected to be released Saturday or Monday.
Stewart says paramedics were called to the family's home in northeast Portland on Thursday night, and officers arrested the father a day later.
Stewart says he didn't know who placed the call or whether other family members were present when the child died.
