A 24-year-old Ohio man will spend the rest of his days behind bars for abducting his 2-year-old daughter from his girlfriend, fatally shooting the child twice in the head and leading police on a high-speed chase with the infant’s body still inside the vehicle. Seneca County Common Pleas Court Judge Damon Alt on Monday ordered Jonathan Baker to serve a sentence of life without parole in a state correctional facility for the 2023 slaying of young Emery, records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Alt handed down the sentence after a jury earlier this month found him guilty on charges of aggravated murder with a firearm specification and kidnapping. In addition to the life sentence, Baker was given an additional 16 1/2 years on the kidnapping charge and three years for the firearms specification.
