WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — A man has been charged with homicide for the death of his baby.
Kashawn Butler was 17 years old, in 2012, when Wilkes-Barre police say he shook his 3-month-old son so hard the baby suffered massive head injuries.
The child remained in around the clock medical care until June when he died from pneumonia and a seizure disorder caused by the traumatic brain injury.
