ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis-area man accused of killing his 8-month-old son and sparking an intense manhunt surrendered to authorities Wednesday.
Diata Crockett, 34, turned himself in to his attorney, Scott Rosenblum, on Wednesday morning. Police then took Crockett into custody. No charges had been filed by midday.
“The family reached out to me, and I just made arrangements for a safe surrender for everybody,” Rosenblum said.
