A Toledo man was indicted Thursday on four charges stemming from the death of his 2-year-old son.

Samuel Oliver, 21, of 3425 Nebraska Ave. was indicted by a Lucas County grand jury on charges of aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and endangering children in the June 2 death of Delayno Oliver. An autopsy concluded the toddler died from multiple blunt-force injuries to his head and body.

Prosecutors said Mr. Oliver’s girlfriend called 911 to report the child was unresponsive. He died shortly after being taken to the hospital by rescue crews.

Mr. Oliver is being held in the Lucas County jail on $1 million bond.
