A Memphis man tossed his two-day-old daughter into the Mississippi River after he shot his girlfriend dead, according to authorities.
Brandon Isabelle, 28, is facing first-degree murder charges for the 2022 deaths of his girlfriend Danielle Hoyle, 27, and their newborn daughter Kennedy.
Isabelle, then 25, lured Hoyle to meet him in Memphis and to bring their daughter before he shot her dead and threw the baby into the river, prosecutors say.
Kennedy's body was never found after she was was tossed into the Mississippi. Alligators are present in the famous river and have been spotted in Memphis in recent years.
At the time of her death, Kennedy weighed just 6lbs and was 17 inches long.
