A St. Croix County man has pleaded no contest to shaking his baby to death.

Prosecutors charged Joshua Schaak, 22, of Star Prairie, with second degree reckless homicide.

Investigators say Schaak told them his 3-month-old daughter hit her head, but later admitted to handling her forcefully and shaking her.

She died December 4th. He'll be sentenced in March.
