A 22-year-old New Jersey man charged with killing his four-month-old daughter told investigators the infant stopped breathing after he threw her into a swing and then onto the floor, authorities said in court documents. Radamez Santana, of Perth Amboy, told police that the girl started to cry and that eventually she stopped breathing next to a bed, according to an affidavit of probable cause outlining murder and child endangerment charges. A person not identified by authorities was performing CPR on the child when emergency workers arrived at a first-floor apartment on the 500 block of Compton Avenue in Perth Amboy on Nov.
