A Georgia father was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 8-month-old daughter after the baby was left in a hot car while he was being arrested at a police station.
Authorities believe the baby, Nova Grace Whatley-Trejo, was in the car for hours on Tuesday. The girl's grandmother found the baby in the car and took her to the hospital sometime before 10 p.m., Snellville Police Detective Jeff Manley said at a news conference Wednesday.
He said unbeknownst to police, Whatley had left his daughter in a car parked two buildings away at the City Hall. Manley said Whatley was on video from the time he arrived at the police station to the moment he was transported and released to deputies at the Gwinnett County Detention Center. Whatley made no reference to Snellville police that his daughter was in the car, Manley said.
Manley said the baby was found after the grandmother"was alerted" by Whatley. He said the baby was dead by the time the grandmother found her.
