A 29-year-old Alamogordo man faces a maximum of 18 years in prison for the 2009 death of a 7-month-old infant after he pleaded guilty Tuesday in 12th Judicial District Court to first-degree felony child abuse negligently resulting in death.

Bobby C. Hernandez is scheduled to be sentenced later this year.

Hernandez has been jailed at the Otero County Detention Center since being charged on June 16, 2009, for the death of the infant.

Alamogordo Department of Public Safety officers and American Medical Response paramedics responded to a 7-month-old infant fall victim around 8:26 p.m. on June 8, 2009.

At the time ADPS Detective Sgt. Israel Trujillo said an investigation showed the child had been dropped, causing an injury to his head.

The child had been transported to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, then airlifted to University Medical Center in El Paso, where he was pronounced dead by medical staff.

At the time, Trujillo said an ADPS detective traveled to the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque to observe the autopsy.
"During the course of the autopsy, we learned there was severe blunt force trauma to the back of the head of the child," he said at the time
