A North Carolina father is facing first-degree murder charges after the death of his 3-month-old boy who succumbed to his fatal injuries on Thursday.

20-year-old Brandon Scott McDaniel was charged with murder on the same day and had his initial charges upgraded following the death of Sloan McDaniel who had severe and multiple serious injuries that caused him a brain bleeding.

Police said that the newborn has been in his father's care when he sustained the injuries that were consistent with child abuse evidence.

"I would like for people to know we are grateful for every day that we got to spend with Sloan," Debbie McCaffrey, Sloan's godmother, said. "He was a true blessing and a beautiful and happy baby boy."
