The Clarendon County Sheriff's Office initially responded to an emergency call on November 16 in Manning, South Carolina. Once at the home, they found the infant "unresponsive and cold to the touch," according to an arrest warrant obtained by Law & Crime.
Despite attempts to perform life-saving measures on him, the boy was later taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.
While a final cause of death has not been officially released, an autopsy found that the large skull fracture "due to blunt force trauma on the right side of [the child's] head" was the most likely factor, according to SLED agent Erin N. Beasley.

Authorities determined that Green had been watching the child on the day of his death and was considered the sole caretaker.
The identities of the infant and his usual caretakers have not been released to the public. It is also currently unclear why Green was left in charge of the boy or what might have caused him to allegedly inflict such abuse.
"The defendant caused the injuries resulting in [the baby's] death, and the injuries occurred under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to human life," the warrant for Green's arrest read.
Green is currently being held at the Clarendon County Detention Center without bond. His case will be tried by the Third Circuit Solicitor's Office.
