Police said he took off three days after the beating that sent his 3-month-old daughter to the hospital, and the day before Adriana Hamilton died from her injuries.

The officers, along with FBI agents, captured him as he arrived Saturday afternoon back in Atlanta on a flight from the Dominican Republic.

Earlier this week, officers said they found Hamilton’s SUV parked at the airport.

Police said he is charged with the murder of his daughter.

An autopsy revealed the infant had broken ribs and suffered head trauma, police said.

Hamilton was allegedly watching the baby at his girlfriend's apartment when, neighbors said, he had them call 911 and said she was not breathing.

Federal agents at the airport turned over Hamilton to the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, police said.
