23-year-old charged with capital murder in death of baby boy in Montgomery

A 23-year-old man has been charged in the death of a 6-month-old Montgomery boy.

Johnnie Taylor Sr. is charged with capital murder, police announced Thursday.

Montgomery investigators launched their investigation earlier this month when the infant was hospitalized at Children’s of Alabama with undisclosed, but life-threatening, injuries.

The child died on November 10.

Major Saba Coleman earlier this week said an autopsy by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences deemed the boy’s death a homicide.

Authorities have not released the baby’s name nor said how he was killed.

They also have not disclosed the relationship between the suspect and the victim.

Taylor, jailed Thursday, is being held without bond in the Montgomery County Detention Facility.

Anyone with additional information is asked to Crime Stoppers at 334-215-STOP, Secret Witness at 334-625-4000, or Montgomery police at 334-625-2831.
