The infant was rushed to Palm Bay Hospital and later transported to Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando, where she passed away on Dec. 19 from what a physician determined to be traumatic brain bleed, Florida Today reported.

The affidavit states Solis “knowingly and willfully abused [the child] and in doing so, caused great bodily harm to her" and that the father "should have known that shaking a [child] with force could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury to a child.”

Solis was booked into the Brevard County Jail and being held without bond.
