CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio -- A man is accused of murdering his 3-month-old daughter earlier this month.

He is accused of killing Alivia Scott on Feb. 5 at their home in the 1000 block of East Broadway Street.

Cuyahoga Falls police and firefighters went to the home after someone reported the baby became unconscious. She was taken to Akron Children's Hospital, where she died on Monday.
