Webster City, IA-  A 26-year-old Webster City man is accused of murder in connection with the death of a 10-month-old boy.

Radio Iowa reports that in April of last year,  first responders were dispatched to a home in Webster City where the 911 caller said an infant was unresponsive. The baby boy was taken to Webster City’s hospital, then transferred to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, where he died later the same morning.

According to a news release from the Iowa Department of Public Safety, the baby had been abused and evidence indicates Gunner Jones caused the fatal injuries. Jones has been charged with first-degree murder.
