CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Police are searching for a man who's accused of shaking his girlfriend's baby to death.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Randy Moorehead is charged with first-degree murder and felony child abuse.

Lattayne Caldwell says she left her 22-month-old daughter, Jalenthia, in Moorehead's care when she went to work on Friday. When she returned home, Caldwell says, she thought her child was sleeping.

"My baby was in a coma having a seizure, couldn't look at me, couldn't breathe, wasn't swallowing and I mean I'm like, what in the world?" said Caldwell. "I'm thinking she's asleep because this what I was told and she is dying."

A funeral will be held for Jalenthia on Saturday.

If you see Moorehead, call 911 or 704-432-TIPS.
