VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Gray News) – A man was sentenced in the “brutal” killing of a 2-month-old baby while on his Xbox.
La’Shaun Quintae Holloway, 27, was sentenced to 50 years in prison on murder and child abuse charges. He was convicted of the charges in August 2024 after a three-day jury trial.
According to attorneys, Holloway was taking care of a 2-month-old baby on December 20, 2019, when his family heard him “yelling obscenities at the baby over an Xbox headset.”
The baby then stopped crying and was found unresponsive. She was taken to the hospital and put on life support, but died days later.
The baby suffered 26 rib fractures, bruising on her chest wall, a fractured clavicle, a skull fracture, bruising to her skull around her eyes and an extensive brain bleed.
Medical professionals determined her injuries were the result of abusive head trauma.
