Soldier ‘beat his 8-month-old daughter dead because she wouldn’t stop screaming’

Fort Liberty Sgt Gabriel Ceville in North Carolina has been charged with beating his daughter to death in February 2023.

An American soldier allegedly beat his eight-month-old daughter to death because she would not stop screaming.

Sgt Gabriel Ceville, with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Liberty in North Carolina, is accused of causing fatal head injuries to his daughter, Misty Delatorre, in February 2023.

The child’s death was ruled a homicide by the North Carolina Medical Examiner, but no one was charged with the crimes.

Misty’s mother and grandmother pushed for justice, and it was not until this month that Ceville was charged in her death.

‘I just want justice. I did,’ her grandma, Misty Bray, told ABC11. ‘I just want my grandbaby’s death – someone needs to be held accountable.’
