The one-year-old was taken to Lehigh Regional Hospital and later to Tampa General where he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Sheriff Carmine Marceno, investigators found the injuries to the child were suspicious and non-accidental with \u201cblunt force trauma to the head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am truly outraged by the actions of this despicable human being. After working closely with our State Attorney\u2019s Office, I am proud to say our team has put him behind bars where he belongs,\u201d Marceno added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick, who didn\u2019t want to be identified by his last name, is a neighbor. He said, \u201cI\u2019m shocked that this happened \u2026 He would always come up to me and shake my hand. \u2018What\u2019s up, bro\u2019. I would never think he is violent or a criminal so this whole time I was livin\u2019 by a criminal \u2026 Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Behind the doors, it\u2019s another life and outside it\u2019s another life \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivarez was arrested by US Marshalls more than six months later. Marceno described the suspect as an acquaintance and a caretaker of the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"ls_embed_1616463054\" src=\"https:\/\/livestream.com\/accounts\/6142119\/events\/8091964\/videos\/219083840\/player?width=640&#038;height=360&#038;autoPlay=true&#038;mute=false\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen> <\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man has been arrested in connection to the death of a one-year-old boy in Lehigh Acres.
