A baby is found unresponsive in his crib
On a summer day in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a one-year-old male infant named Carlos Ricardo Thomas was discovered unresponsive in his crib at his residence on Old Forge Road on July 8, 2001. He was immediately transported to the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, where medical staff placed him on life support in an effort to save his life. Despite the medical intervention, Carlos succumbed to his injuries and passed away three days later on July 11, 2001.
Following his death, an autopsy was conducted by the State Medical Examiner's Office. The examination revealed that the infant had sustained trauma, leading to the classification of his death as a homicide. The specific details of the trauma have not been publicly disclosed. The circumstances that led to the fatal injuries of the young child remain unclear.
Despite an investigation into the homicide of Carlos Ricardo Thomas, no suspects have ever been publicly identified in connection with his death. The case has since gone cold, and no arrests have been made. Law enforcement officials continue to ask for the public's assistance and the Virginia Beach Crime Solvers periodically renews appeals for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in this unsolved case.
