@spotlightsynergy: In Orrington, Maine, a 12-week-old baby girl named Lyla Samuels died shortly after being left alone with her father Shawn Samuels, 24, for the first time, when a Jan. 16 911 call reported the infant unresponsive at the family home, and although responders initially revived her, she later died at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center; a subsequent autopsy revealed multiple broken ribs, brain swelling, and retinal hemorrhages consistent with abusive trauma, prompting Maine State Police to rule her death a homicide, and Shawn was arrested on charges including domestic violence elevated aggravated assault and murder, entering a not guilty plea in court where bail was set at $250,000, while family and loved ones remember Lyla as a “precious, perfect little light” whose brief life brought joy and whose loss has devastated her community, with a GoFundMe raising funds to support her grieving mother and relatives. #truecrime #breakingnews #crime #viralstories #shockingstory
