A Georgia man wanted in the death of his girlfriend's 1-year-old son was arrested Wednesday after authorities found him hiding under a bed in his mother's house, an official said.
Jamarius Khalil Dixon, 19, was taken into custody in the Sandersville, Ga., home a week after he and the child's mother found the boy unresponsive and rushed him to a hospital, an official with the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force told the Macon Telegraph.
The child, identified as Jayce Gibson, was pronounced dead at the hospital, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. A cause of death could not be determined at the time.
An autopsy later showed that the 1-year-old died of head trauma, authorities said.
An investigation identified Dixon, who was described as the "roommate/boyfriend" of the child's mother, as the suspect, the sheriff's office said.
