Tulsa Man Arrested After Baby Funeral

Infant Homicide Arrest in Tulsa

Charges Filed After Child’s Funeral

Tulsa police arrest a man for the death of a two-month-old baby after the child’s funeral. Investigators say the case is one of the most devastating infant abuse cases the department has handled in months.

Murder Charge Filed

Landon McCullah is facing a murder charge. Additionally, detectives believe the timeline of injuries and medical reports support probable cause for criminal homicide.

Injuries Confirm Abuse

A court affidavit details severe injuries doctors say are consistent with abuse. Therefore, forensic examinations point to violent trauma rather than accidental harm.

Child Hospitalized With Severe Injury

The child was hospitalized on October 28 and later died from injuries including several broken ribs, a swollen brain, and bruises all over their body. Doctors say the trauma reflected repeat injury over time.

Arrest Conducted at Funeral

Police say they arrested McCullah who was the baby’s primary caregiver at the time at the funeral because they had no way of contacting him and he was considered a flight risk. Additionally, detectives said they wanted immediate custody due to risk of leaving jurisdiction following media coverage.
