11-month old Kenosha child killed during domestic incident

From the picture of the child, it is highly likely the mother was White.

Officers responded to a domestic incident in the 5000 block of 21st Avenue around 7:00 p.m. Tuesday night. During the incident an 11-month old child named Serenity Rose was fatally injured.

Russell Rose, 34, is in custody in connection with the incident. Police say that after an argument with 11-month-old's mother, Rose repeatedly beat the child. The child had multiple skull fractures and her face was beaten beyond recognition.

Police say Rose then ran into the home and set it on fire, eventually surrendering to police.

"This guy is nothing short of a monster," said Kenosha Police Chief John Morrissey.

Rose has a history of criminal charges dating back to 1996.

Among his convictions are drug related charges, resisting police and battery on a firefighter.

The Kenosha Police Department changed its facebook page in the wake of the tragedy with a clear headline that reads 'Stop Domestic Violence.'
