Violent Crimes detectives arrested Keith Swanson, 25, on a criminal homicide warrant for Monday’s death of a 22-month-old girl, Myrikle Belin, for whom Swanson’s girlfriend was the legal guardian. Myrikle was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by ambulance from her Riverside Drive home after Swanson called 911 at 8:24 a.m. Monday, reporting that she was unresponsive. She died shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Youth Services detectives observed numerous bruises to Myrikle’s face, head and chest. An autopsy examination conducted Tuesday showed internal scalp lacerations, hemorrhaging and a swollen brain. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma.
