A 20-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide after telling police he shook his 2-month-old son more than a day before he died of blunt force trauma to the head.
If convicted, Jakob Ivy faces up to 60 years in prison, according to court documents. He is in the Milwaukee County Jail with cash bail set at $5,000.
His son has been identified as Kai Ivy by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office. He died in the early morning of April 26 after his father reported he was unresponsive and not breathing, police said. First responders were able to locate a pulse, but he died after being hospitalized.
