2-month-old killed in Dayton, father indicted on murder, other felonies

The father of a two-month-old boy killed last February has been indicted more than a year after the infant died from blunt force injuries.

William Clouse, 39, of Dayton, has a warrant out for his arrest after a grand jury indicted him on murder, involuntary manslaughter, endangering children and reckless homicide.

William Clouse is accused of killing his son Gabriel. Last February, police responded to Clouse’s home after getting a 911 call reporting the 2-month-old was not breathing.

“An autopsy revealed the infant had suffered from a skull fracture and brain hemorrhages,” according to a statement from the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office said. “The defendant was alone with the infant when these injuries occurred.”

Gabriel died at Dayton Children’s Hospital three days later.

Clouse will be arraigned on Feb. 25.
