A toddler is dead after being found battered and bruised inside a homeless shelter in Elmhurst Sunday — and police are investigating the incident as a homicide.
The victim, a 3-year-old boy named Shaquan Butler, was found at around 7:40 p.m. by police inside the Boulevard Family Residence — a family homeless shelter located at 79-00 Queens Boulevard. The child’s parents called 911, police said.
Butler was unconscious and unresponsive with bruises throughout his body that were in different stages of healing, according to the NYPD.
The child had a faint pulse when emergency services arrived on the scene and he was then transported by EMS to NYC Health & Hospital/Elmhurst but could not be saved, police said.
The toddler was also found to have had a collapsed lung, police said.
The victim’s mother told police that the child began to act strangely and began choking shortly before they called 911, the NYPD said.
He then ran into a pillar inside the shelter, fell back and struck his head on the floor, the boy’s mother told police.
However, police say that story was inconsistent with his injuries and the NYPD has now launched a homicide investigation.

There is a special place in hell for whoever killed that child.
The dead boy's father, 26, also baptized Shaquan [named after St.Shaquan?] was arrested as an adult 24 times. More when younger.
How many times, Dear Reader, have you been arrested?
Sincerely,

NYC is a Shite Hole !
I'd call them animals, but animals don't kill their own children
The Left: We admit to NO WRONGDOING in incidents of violence...
And to think the Sheeple taxpayers payed for these evil actions!
How can we trick more democrats into arguing people should buy guns?
Asking for a Commie friend...
What Actually Causes This Antisocial Behavior?
Why did the cowboys used to shoot at each others feet?
Just to make them dance, or just for fun?
This evil happens again and again in the same Demorat Shitehole places...
