The man who allegedly killed a baby boy was charged April 19 with first-degree and second-degree murder with an intent to kill.

The incident took place on the 3400 block of A Street in SE. Two-year-old Aceyson Aizim Ahmad was apparently the son of James Embre‘s girlfriend.

According to the D.C. Medical Examiner, Ahmad died from multiple blunt force trauma. According to court documents, Embre may have assaulted Ahmad in the past. Court documents said Embre apparently abused the boy’s sister as well.

Jason Embre is being held without bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 24.
