Authorities are still searching for a Roseville man who is now charged with felonious assault and is awaiting an additional charge of aggravated murder in connection to the death of a four-month-old baby last week. 

Derek Bush, 41, has been added to Muskingum County’s wanted list after the infant died from injuries sustained the night of July 18. 

Bush is described to be five-foot-eight and weighing 170 pounds. 

He has several tattoos, including a face on his right ankle, a dragon on his chest, daggers on his left calf and two hearts on his right shoulder with the names “Gage” and “Trevor.” 

Bush also has a scar on his left arm from a burn. 

According to Sheriff Matt Lutz, authorities throughout the state have been made aware of Bush’s arrest warrant.

His last known address is located in Roseville, although he has family members that live in both the Zanesville and Crooksville areas.

Anyone with information that could lead to his arrest should contact the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center at (740) 452-3637.

Law enforcement is advising that Bush is dangerous and should not be approached.
