Authorities think the child was shaken to death

The Pickaway County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of a 10-month-old child.

Officials responded to an Armstrong Road home in Laurelville, just after 1am, Wednesday, on a 911 call regarding an infant who was not breathing. CPR was administered on the boy, who was taken to Berger Hospital and later transported to Children's Hospital, where he was determined brain dead, taken off life support, and died at 9am, Thursday.

Officials say the child suffered trauma consistent with shaken baby syndrome.

Authorities say Wayne "Wolf" Walker, who is a recent boyfriend of the child's mother, is a person of interest. He's being sought for questioning about the incident.
