Florida Father Sentenced to 30 Years After Tragic Death of Infant Son A heartbreaking tragedy in Jacksonville, Florida has left a family shattered and a community in mourning. A father will spend the next 30 years in prison after fatally running over his own infant son during a heated argument with the child’s mother in January 2025.

In a moment prosecutors described as lasting only seconds, the father removed the baby from the car seat, placed him in the street, and then ran him over, killing him. During sentencing, he admitted his guilt and expressed deep remorse, calling himself “the monster who killed” his own child. The judge sentenced him to 30 years behind bars for the murder.
