JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -
A 22-year-old man pleaded guilty Thursday to murder and child abuse in the death of his 2-month-old daughter last year.

Bryan Wofford faces life in prison when he's sentenced next month for killing Makayla Wofford.

Prosecutors said Wofford admitted to shaking his baby daughter who wouldn't stop crying and slamming her into a door.

Makayla was taken to Baptist Medical Center on May 30, where she was placed on life support. She was removed from life support on June 2 and died the same day.

An autopsy revealed a skull fracture on the back of the baby's head as well as bruises on her forehead. The girl's death was ruled homicide by blunt-force trauma.

Police said that rather than Wofford calling 911 or immediately taking Makayla to the hospital, he drove the baby to her mother's place of work to say something was wrong. The girl's mother, Toni Pesavento, called police.

Investigators said Makayla's parents were not married but were living together.

There were no other children in the home. The baby was their only child.
