CHESAPEAKE - Police are looking for the 35-year-old father of a 16-month-old girl whose death this summer in South Norfolk was determined to be a homicide.



Floyd W. Logan IV, of the 2200 block of Jefferson Ave. in Newport News, was indicted Dec. 4 on charges of first-degree murder and child abuse, according to online court records.

His daughter, Waaliyah Brown, was pronounced dead Aug. 15 after police responded around 4 p.m. to the 800 block of Park Row. They had received a call of an unresponsive girl at her mother's house, according to a news release and police spokeswoman Kelly O'Sullivan.

Waaliyah was taken to Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. Police have been investigating her death for several months, and there have been multiple medical examinations to determine how she died, the release said.

O'Sullivan said the girl died of blunt-force trauma.

Neighbors said Thursday the house where the girl died has been empty for months, and a sign on the door indicated it is in foreclosure.

A man wanted in connection with the death of his 16-month-old
daughter was arrested in North Carolina, according to news reports from
WYFF4.com and Fox Carolina.

Floyd W. Logan IV, 35, was being held at the Buncombe County
Detention Facility on Friday night, according to records at the
facility. He was being held on a fugitive warrant without bond.

The Newport News man was indicted Dec. 4 on charges of first-degree
murder and child abuse, according to online court records in Chesapeake.

A Chesapeake police spokeswoman could not confirm Logan's arrest Saturday.

His daughter, Waaliyah Brown, was pronounced dead Aug. 15 after
police responded around 4 p.m. to the 800 block of Park Row. They had
received a call of an unresponsive girl at her mother's house, according
to a news release and police spokeswoman Kelly O'Sullivan.

Waaliyah was taken to Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, where she
was pronounced dead. Police have been investigating her death for
several months, and medical examinations have been done to determine how
she died, the release said.

O'Sullivan said the girl died of blunt-force trauma.

Neighbors said Thursday that the house where the girl died has been
empty for months, and a sign on the door indicated it is in foreclosure.

The Asheville, N.C., television news stations reported that Logan was
arrested at his girlfriend's house after Asheville police and U.S.
Marshals in western North Carolina received information that he was in
the area.
