Sun. 10:15 p.m.: Father charged in death of Niles baby

NILES – The father of a five-week-old girl, who died Wednesday after suffering brain and rib injuries, has been charged with murder.

Jail records show Matthew Wilson, 32, was booked into the Trumbull County Jail at 1:05 p.m. Saturday.

According to information released earlier today from Niles Police Department, Niles Fire Department and Lane Ambulance responded to 1017 Bellair Court 2:19 p.m. Feb. 10 on a medical call for what was reported as a baby with a heart condition.

The report said the infant, five-week-old Aubrianna I. Wilson, was taken to Akron Children’s Hospital. The next day, the hospital called Niles police to report the infant had possibly been abused. The information triggered an investigation that jointly was conducted by Niles Police detectives, Trumbull County Children Services and the Trumbull County Prosecutorás Office.

A Niles police radio log for Feb. 11 reported the baby was brought into the hospital with âbrain bleeds and rib fractures.ã The log said the baby underwent surgery Feb. 11 and was taken to the Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit. According to listings in the radio log, officers also were advised by a hospital staff member that these injuries would have been caused by the baby being shaken or squeezed.
