MACON, Ga. — A man faces murder charges after he

allegedly killed a 1-year-old in Macon last month.

According to a news release, the investigation began

when Bibb County deputies were called to the
Coliseum Northside Hospital emergency room for an
unresponsive infant on Feb 24.

When they got to the scene, they were told the 1-year-
old boy had been taken to the hospital by his mother
and her boyfriend after noticing he was unresponsive.

The infant, identified as Jayce Gibson, was later

pronounced dead. A cause of death couldn’t be
determined at the time, so an autopsy was conducted
at the GBI Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday.

The results of the autopsy revealed that Jayce died

from head trauma, and not from natural causes.

Investigators received information that led to the arrest

of the mother’s boyfriend, 19-year-old Jamarius Dixon,
and he was arrested Wednesday at a family member’s
home in Sandersville.

Dixon is charged with murder and child cruelty. The

investigation is ongoing and anyone with information
can call the sheriff’s office at 478-751-7500.
