ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis-area man has been charged with first-degree murder and other felonies after authorities say he fatally shot his 8-month-old son and sparked an intense manhunt.

St. Louis prosecutors brought the charges against 34-year-old Diata Crockett on Wednesday. He also faces charges of armed criminal action, domestic assault, endangering a child, unlawful possession and unlawful use of a weapon.

A St. Louis police investigator says in a court filing that Crockett and his wife were in a car Tuesday with three of their children when the wife said she wanted a divorce. The investigator says Crockett threatened his wife, she jumped from the car with the infant and he fired upon her.

Police believe Crockett likely was aiming for his wife when fatally wounding 8-month-old Reign Crockett.
