A shocking crime has the Williamsburg community shaken. A local man is charged in the first degree murder of a one-year-old child.

According to CBS2 News, Williamsburg police arrested 29-year-old Cody Stevenson early Monday, and charged him in the death of the toddler. Stevenson was not related to the child, but police provided little additional information.

Stevenson was originally arrested and charged with Willful Injury to a Child. Sadly, the child passed away just hours later, and the charge was then upgraded to 1st-Degree Murder.
