The parents of a 3-month-old South Los Angeles boy who died of massive head injuries have been arrested in his death, Los Angeles police said. The infant, Dante Hunter, was semiconscious when paramedics took him to Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital on Dec. 7. The baby died within several hours, Lt. Vance Proctor of the Abused Child Unit said. Police were notified after an autopsy showed that the child had suffered a massive skull fracture, Proctor said. The baby’s parents, Michael Hunter, 26, and Ethel Mae Gray, 31, were arrested at their home on East 92nd Street. The couple’s five other children were placed in protective custody, Proctor said.
