Man charged with murder in infant’s death after babysitting incident

Madison Township, OH

A man is charged with the murder of his girlfriend’s five-month-old daughter. Glenn McIntosh, 32, was arrested in connection with the death of Ameira Reynolds on Friday.

McIntosh allegedly cared for the infant while her mother attended to her other children. He left the home shortly before the mother returned and was unreachable by phone.

According to prosecutors, when the mother arrived home, she discovered the baby was unresponsive. Assistant Franklin County Prosecutor Shania Goble indicated that McIntosh claimed the infant had fallen but that medical examinations revealed injuries inconsistent with this account.

Ameira was transported to a hospital with skull fractures and other serious injuries. She was pronounced dead shortly after arrival due to blunt force trauma.

The couple had been dating for three months and lived on Willard Brook Road. McIntosh was ordered held on a $2 million bond and remained in custody as of Sunday.

The baby’s mother expressed her devastation in a court statement, emphasizing her trust in McIntosh. She condemned his actions, highlighting the loss of her “defenseless baby.”

A GoFundMe page created to honor Ameira described her as a sweet angel, and her mother expressed the grief of having to bury her child.

Man arrested for shooting ex-manager outside Taco Bell

CINCINNATI, OH – A 21-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of his former manager outside a Taco Bell in Cincinnati. Jonathan Morris faces one count of murder following the incident that occurred early on August 29.

According to law enforcement, Morris allegedly shot 32-year-old Ryan Johnson just after midnight in the parking lot of the fast-food restaurant on Gest Road. Morris had reportedly been fired from his job the day before the shooting.

“They are devastated by this,” prosecutor David Hickenlooper stated during a court session on Thursday, speaking of the victim’s family. Johnson was discovered by police suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

At the time of the incident, Johnson was not in uniform. Witnesses provided police with a description of the alleged shooter and the motive for the crime is believed to relate to Morris’s termination.

During a court hearing, bond was set at $500,000 after the prosecution requested a $2 million bond. Morris’s attorney indicated that his client could not afford the bond, and noted that Morris is a primary caregiver for his young child.

Morris previously faced an aggravated robbery charge in September 2023 but was acquitted in March. Police stated efforts to locate Morris took weeks before his capture.

If released on bond, Morris will be subject to electronic monitoring and house arrest. The case continues to unfold as both sides prepare for further legal proceedings.

A tragic workplace dispute has left one man dead and another facing serious charges.
