(L.A.) Isaiah Gaston, a Baby, Died From His Father’s Blows
Case Number: 2022-01730
Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a Black male that occurred in a hospital.
The coroner’s office has identified the infant as Isaiah Gaston.
Manner of Death: Homicide
Cause of Death: Multiple Blunt-Force Traumatic Injuries
RIP ISAIAH GASTON (March 28, 2021 – February 9, 2022)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Wednesday at 7:36 a.m.
In 2024, the child’s father Jeremy Ramon Wade pleaded no contest to second-degree murder in connection to his son’s death.
The incident happened in a room at the Scottish Inns Long Beach in the 5400 block of Atlantic Avenue.
Long Beach police officers found Wade and his son inside the room while responding to a report of an alleged incident of domestic violence involving the baby’s mother.
The boy was unresponsive and officers began rendering life-saving measures until Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived and transported the child to a nearby hospital — where he later succumbed to his injuries.
