A 4-month-old boy is the city's latest homicide victim, and Wichita police have arrested his 31-year-old father in connection with his death, authorities said Wednesday.

Zereon L. Thomas was pronounced dead shortly after his father took him to Wesley Medical Center at about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday...

The couple had lived together ...with the baby and their 12-year-old son, police said. That boy is now with family members.

It's more than repulsive that a four month old baby had to endure abuse from his own father.I just wonder what he is going to do in prison when the other inmates find out he is a baby killer. He may actually have to go up against someone his own size not a four month old baby who surely was defenseless.The story just makes my want to cry. What type of monster could beat his own child to death? Or any baby for that matter...

HE IS AN ABUSIVE CONFUSED PERSON IF EVERYBODY KNEW WHAT HE HAS DONE IN HIS PAST EVERYONE WOULD KNOW THAT THIS DEATH WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. HE IS VERY GOOD AT HIDING THE REAL PERSON HE IS AND IT'S VERY SAD THAT THIS HAPPENED BUT AT LEAST HE WILL BE STOPPED, HE WON'T BEABLE TO HURT ANY BABIES, CHILDREN, GIRLS OR ANYONE ANYMORE.
