Sacramento father arrested a year after 4-month-old child’s death, police say<\/p>\n

\"Jonathan<\/p>\n

More than a year after an infant died, the Sacramento Police Department said it arrested the baby’s father in connection with the death.<\/p>\n

Victor Weaver, 22, faces a homicide charge in his 4-month-old child’s death, police said.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 14, 2025, police said they got a report around 9 a.m. of an unresponsive child being dropped off at a fire station. They took the baby to a hospital, where the baby later died.<\/p>\n

Officers learned the baby came from a home in the 1700 block of West El Camino Avenue near Truxel Road, police said. Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators took over the scene, collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office determined the baby died by homicide, police said. Detectives identified Weaver as the suspected killer and got a warrant for his arrest.<\/p>\n

Police said they arrested Weaver on Tuesday. The baby’s identity was not released.<\/p>\n

Jail records show Weaver is ineligible for bail, and there are no court dates scheduled yet in connection with his child’s death.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information related to this case is asked to call the police department’s dispatch center at 916-808-5471 or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at 916-443-4357.<\/p>\n
