NEW YORK (AP) - Police have arrested a mother in the death of her 4-year-old son who was found covered with bruises inside their Brooklyn apartment.
NYPD officers responding to a 911 call found Zamair Coombs bruised and unresponsive Wednesday night. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The boy’s mother, 26-year-old Zarah Coombs, was arrested Thursday morning on charges including murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
The medical examiner says the boy died of multiple blunt impact injuries and has ruled his death a homicide.
