The family was seeking shelter in an Orlando home on Sept. 13 when 5-month-old Kali Dream Castell's mother called 911 because her daughter wasn't breathing.
Kali was pronounced dead the next day. Doctors later told police they'd discovered a depression in her skull that indicated she had been struck.
This finding appeared to discredit the version of events given by father Dekari Castell, who told authorities he dropped Kali after she wriggled out of his grasp days before.
Under further questioning, police said 22-year-old Castell's story changed.
During a third interview, investigators said Castell told them he punched his daughter's head while "highly stressed" because they were without power and Kali wouldn't stop crying.
