A Tucson man arrested two weeks ago in connection with the death of his 2-month-old daughter admitted to shaking the baby, court records show.

On March 19, paramedics found Tayma Ramos, daughter of Manuel Ramos-Garate, in respiratory arrest at a home in the 200 block of East Fort Lowell Road, said Sgt. Diana Lopez, spokeswoman for the Tucson Police Department.

The interim complaint filed by Tucson police states Ramos-Garate said he shook the girl because he was upset and hungry, and the baby was crying.

The child died later that night at a hospital, records indicate.

Ramos-Garate was being held without bond in the Pima County jail on one count each of child abuse and first-degree murder, Lopez said.

Ramos-Garate told authorities he was a landscaper who had lived in the U.S. illegally for a year.

He is the father of three children, records indicate.
