Infant dies, murder charge added for man accused of aggravated child abuse
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — A man previously charged with aggravated child abuse has been given a new charge, according to jail records. Madison County jail records show that 24-year-old Victavious Tarez Dennis, of Huntsville, has been given a new charge. He was previously charged with aggravated child abuse on May 8. The Huntsville Police Department said the infant who suffered critical injuries and was being treated at the hospital tragically succumbed to those injuries. HPD said around 8 a.m., officers responded to a local hospital following reports that an infant had been injured. The department said medical staff advised the officers that the child had sustained injuries consistent with child abuse. Members of the Major Crimes Unit, Special Victims Unit and Crime Scene Unit conducted an investigation, including the collection of evidence and interviews with all involved individuals. The investigation determined that Dennis was alone with the infant in his home when the injuries occurred. Court documents say Dennis was 'too aggressive with [the] child [and] dropped her on her head.' The document says the infant sustained serious physical injuries from the drop, causing 'trauma to her brain and brain bleed.' Since he was booked into jail, he was given an additional charge of murder. He is currently being held without bond on both charges. His Aniah's Law hearing is set for June 17 and his preliminary hearing is set for June 18. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
