The death of a 1-month-old boy in his Brooklyn home earlier this year has been ruled a homicide, police said Wednesday.
Daquan Vaughan-Sanchez’s 25-year-old father found him unconscious and unresponsive inside the apartment on East 32nd Street near Snyder Avenue in East Flatbush around 5:30 a.m. March 8 and called 911, authorities said.
Little Daquan was rushed to SUNY Downstate University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead two days later.
In ruling the death a homicide, the city medical examiner’s office said Daquan died of abusive head and neck trauma.
Police said early Wednesday that the infant may have been a victim of shaken baby syndrome.
So far, no arrests have been made in connection to the baby’s death, police said.
The homicide ruling follows a recent string of child abuse-related deaths across the city.
