A 27-year-old Virginia man is headed to prison for decades after he beat his 2-month-old daughter to death because she was crying while he was playing Xbox, authorities say.

La’Shaun Quintae Holloway was sentenced to 50 years in prison, with 20 years suspended, meaning he’ll spend three decades behind bars, the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney’s Office said in a press release. A jury in August convicted Holloway of second-degree murder and child abuse after a three-day trial in the 2019 death of his daughter, who was not publicly identified.

According to prosecutors, Holloway was alone with the girl on Dec. 20, 2019, at his home in the 1100 block of Woodcock Lane in Virginia Beach.

“On this date, while the baby was in Holloway’s sole care, family members heard him yelling obscenities at the baby over an X-box headset,” the press release stated.  “The baby then stopped crying and was found unresponsive shortly thereafter.”

First responders rushed the girl to the hospital where doctors put her on life support. She died days later.

An autopsy showed she had 26 rib fractures in various stages of healing, bruising on her chest wall, a fractured clavicle, a skull fracture, bruising to her skull around her eyes and an extensive brain bleed.

“Medical professionals determined the injuries were the result of abusive head trauma,” prosecutors said.

Sentencing guidelines called for a sentence of about 23 years but the judge went above the recommendation because of the significant injuries, age of the baby and the brutality of the murder, prosecutors said.

A grand jury indicted Holloway on the second-degree murder and child abuse charges in October 2021. By then, Holloway was already behind bars in nearby Chesapeake for an unrelated child abuse and neglect conviction. He also was convicted of felony eluding police, hit and run and DUI. He has previous convictions of carrying a concealed weapon, second offense, petit larceny and failure to appear.
