The 2-month-old boy was abused by his mom's boyfriend, authorities say.

Authorities say a northeastern Pennsylvania baby is dead two weeks after being shaken by his mother's boyfriend.

Lackawanna County District Attorney Andy Jarbola says 2-month-old Jayden Cohen died Monday.

Jarbola says he expects homicide charges to be filed later this week against Matthew Evans, 20. Evans has been in custody charged with aggravated assault and child endangerment since the infant was hospitalized Dec. 20.

According to a criminal complaint, Jayden had no brain activity when he arrived at a hospital. Investigators say his mother had left the boy in Evans' care at the apartment they shared in Dunmore.

Evans is being held on $100,000 bail. Online court records do not list an attorney for him.
