A Maryville man has been charged in connection with the death of a 10-month-old boy.

According to the Maryville Department of Public Safety 25-year-old Nicholas L. Bradshaw of Maryville was charged Thursday by Nodaway County Prosecutor Robert Rice with two felony counts of Abuse or Neglect of a child resulting in death.

In a news release issued by MDP it said the charges are a result of an almost 4 month long investigation that was completed and all medical reports were received.

It said the charges stem from an incident that took place Dec. 5 of 2014 when Bradshaw was allegedly providing care for the 10-month old and as a result the child was injured.

The MDP said the child was taken to the St. Francis Hospital Emergency Room by his parent and then transported to Childrens Mercy Hospital in Kansas City where he died two days later.

The results of medical and pathological reports indicate that the death was a homicide.

Bradshaw is currently being held in Nodaway County on $50,000 bond.
