DOUGLASVILLE, GA — A Douglasville father is facing murder charges in the death of his 3-month-old baby.

Douglasville police say officers responded to a call about a baby with difficulty breathing at a home on West Stewart Mill Road a few days before Christmas. Authorities on scene performed CPR, but the baby later died at the hospital.

Police officials say a forensic exam and interviews led to charges being filed against the father, identified as 23-year-old Geordy Hernandez.

Hernandez is being held at the Douglas County Jail.
