Webster City man charged with murder in baby’s 2023 death
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa — A Webster City man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 10-month-old baby.
An investigation by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and the Webster City Police Department has resulted in the arrest of Gunner Jones, 26. Officials say he’s responsible for the death of a baby boy, identified in court documents as H. A.
A news release from the Iowa Department of Public Safety says on April 16, 2023, around 1:45 a.m. emergency personnel and WCPD officers responded to a residence in Webster City after receiving a 911 call about an unresponsive infant. The child was transported to Van Diest Medical Center first and then later to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines, where he died later that morning.
A criminal complaint filed in the case said medical officials at the hospital observed H. A. as having unusual bruising consistent with inflicted child abuse.
Results of the autopsy ruled the cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries to the baby’s head and listed the manner of death as homicide.
The complaint says the baby had no apparent medical issues when the mother went to sleep and Jones was the only other person awake and alone in the residence when the injuries were inflicted.
Jones is being held in the Hamilton County Jail on a bond of $5 million. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 12th.
