An ex-NFL and Notre Dame running back arrested on suspicion of child abuse now faces murder charges after his girlfriend’s 5-year-old girl died.

The Associated Press reports that Las Vegas police arrested 28-year-old Cierre Wood on Wednesday, charging him with first-degree murder. He originally was charged with first-degree child abuse and neglect.

KLAS-TV was the first to report the arrest.

The Clark County Coroner’s Office says 5-year-old La-Rayah Davis died as a result of child abuse. Police also have charged Wood’s girlfriend and the child’s mother, Amy Taylor, with child abuse and neglect, NBC News reported.

Wood played in college at Notre Dame and spent time in the NFL with the Houston Texans, New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills.

He most recently was released by the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes in 2017.
