Charges of first-degree murder were approved this afternoon against Jason Range, 20, in the death of Jeremiah Range, according to a spokeswoman with the Cook County state's attorney's office.GOOD!
Five-week-old Jeremiah was being carried down the porch steps, unsecured in a carseat, when Range allegedly kicked his estranged wife in the back, according to police reports.
Jeremiah slipped from the car seat and dropped to the ground below in the 8200 block of South Maryland Avenue, authorities said.
In 2008, Range was charged with threatening his wife with a knife and dragging her by her hair, court records show. Those charges were later dropped.
