Police: dad killed 2-month-old baby during visitation (Converse, Texas)

Dad DOMINIQUE REED has been arrrested for "allegedly" killing his 2-month-old daughter during visitation. Thanks to reporter Nadia Ramdass for making the context of this murder clear--too many reporters just leave you wondering. Just a couple of other questions: Was this visitation court-ordered? What judge made that decision? Did dad have a previous criminal history?

A Converse man is in jail, accused of killing his two-month-old baby.

The Converse Police Department suspects Dominique Reed killed the baby.

According to the police report, the 19-year-old mother says Reed picked up his infant baby, Zaniyah Reed, for visitation Thursday evening. Police say around 12:30 Friday, the 20-year-old father returned the bay to the mother wrapped in a blanket.

When the mother opened the blanket, she noticed the child was unresponsive, and that the baby had apparent abdominal injuries.

The child was taken to University Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

After issuing a warrant for Reed's arrest, converse police, along with the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, apprehended the suspect the very same day his daughter died.

Reed is under arrest for injury to a child. That charge could be upgraded to capital murder pending an autopsy.
