The 17-year-old was in critical condition and was subsequently transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center by medics for further intensive treatment, Cunningham said. The 13-month-old suffered less serious injuries and was taken by a private citizen to the same hospital.
On March 3, the 17-year-old died from his injuries.
Travion Spraggs was identified as the dead child.
