A father has been arrested following a more than two-year investigation after police determined he killed his two-month-old infant daughter by stuffing a baby wipe down her throat, police say.

The incident originally occurred on May 28, 2021, when the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Dispatch received a 911 call regarding a two-month-old unresponsive infant in Vero Beach, Florida, according to a statement from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office released on Monday.

Dispatchers immediately began giving the infant’s father, Jason Napier, instructions on how to give CPR to the child and notified police deputies and fire rescue to respond to the scene.
