EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. — A man was arrested in El Dorado County after he allegedly inflicted deadly injuries on a baby.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office says detectives were initially called to investigate physical abuse against an infant.
The infant was hospitalized and later died. Kevin Van Streefkerk, 37, of Cameron Park was arrested on suspicion of murder.
He is being held without bond at the El Dorado County jail.
Van Streefkerk works as a technician related to the maintenance of radio equipment and has worked for the state since 2016, according to a Cal OES spokesperson.
