VANDERGRIFT — A Pittsburgh-area man jailed on charges he shook a 2-month-old baby so hard she suffered brain damage now faces a possible criminal homicide charge because the baby has died.

State police say they anticipate filing the new charge against 30-year-old Matthew Milisits of Vandergrift, who allegedly acknowledged shaking the baby on Thursday because she wouldn’t stop crying. The baby was taken off life support at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh late Monday.

Milisits’ attorney, Duke George, says he can’t comment until after an autopsy and any new charge is filed.

Milisits remained in the Westmoreland County Jail on Tuesday, unable to post $500,000 bond.
