Stoinoff asked to hold the baby and after a short period of time began to violently beat the baby. Stoinoff's mother and sister tried to get him away from the infant, and both fled to a bedroom inside the home to call 911.

The baby was transported to Children's Hospital where she was pronounced dead from her injuries.

When police arrived at the scene, Stoinoff was in the front yard. He is charged with one count of aggravated murder, which is a felony of the first degree, and transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center to await arraignment.
