Peoria man pleads guilty to 2021 murder of infant son

A gavel rests on a judge's bench in a blurry courtroom. The text "WCBU Courts" sits on top of that photo.

A Peoria man will serve 30 years in prison for the 2021 murder of his infant son.

Zachary Yeo pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder Thursday in Peoria County Court. Other charges were dropped.

2-month-old Conner Yeo was Peoria's 32nd homicide victim of last year. He died from blunt force head trauma.

Zachary Yeo must serve 100 percent of his 30 year sentence.
