A 17-year-old boy — who was babysitting his girlfriend’s toddler last week when the child lost consciousness and later died — has been charged as an adult with first-degree felony aggravated murder.
Isaiah Weaver allegedly caused the death of 21-month-old Jaycieion Sanchez, who died at a West Valley City home on Jan. 16 from “blunt force injury,” according to charges filed Tuesday in 3rd District Court.
The child suffered brain trauma indicative of head impacts and “vigorous shaking,” charges state.
There also was bruising all over the child’s head, and linear marks on his lower back, buttocks and thighs consistent with being hit with a hard, thin object.
