Tacoma baby a homicide victim. Investigation underway, police say

The medical examiner has determined that a Tacoma baby who died in February was killed from multiple sharp-force injuries.

The boy was brought to Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital on Feb. 10 at 6:53 p.m and pronounced dead. Detectives got a call from the hospital and began a death investigation, Tacoma Police Department spokesperson Sgt. John Correa told The News Tribune.

Correa said Friday detectives get called out anytime there is a deceased infant in the city.

The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office took custody of the child’s body to conduct an investigation. The office made the ruling Monday that the baby died from a homicide.

Detectives are now investigating the baby’s death as a homicide. Correa said interviews have already been conducted, and detectives were waiting for the medical examiner’s ruling before moving forward.

The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made.

The office has identified the baby as “Nash, Male Infant.” His age is listed as 0 months, according to their public information portal.
