Neighbors say he came running out of the apartment asking them to call 911. He claimed his daughter wasn't breathing well and told them he may have put a blanket around her too tightly.

Officers say an autopsy revealed Adriana suffered broken ribs and bleeding on the brain.

Police charged Hamilton with murder, cruelty to children and aggravated battery.
