The mother of a 3-year-old boy whose dead body was dumped at a Brooklyn hospital<\/a> has been charged with murder after an autopsy ruled the toddler\u2019s death the result of child abuse, officials said.<\/p>\n

Sunshyne Davis, 25, was arrested Wednesday \u2014 more than a year after little Kyng Davis\u2019 dead body was abandoned at SUNY Downstate Medical Center<\/a> on March 9, 2025. She is charged on an indictment with murder, manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Her arrest follows a ruling by the city\u2019s medical examiner that her son\u2019s death was caused by blunt force trauma, starvation and dehydration. Davis was ordered held without bail after pleading not guilty at her arraignment in Brooklyn Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Also charged with murder in Kyng\u2019s death is his mother\u2019s boyfriend, Robert White, 39, who has been held without bail after being arrested just days after the child died<\/a> for repeatedly slapping the toddler during an incident that occurred several weeks earlier. White\u2019s arraignment remained pending Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In the assault, White, his girlfriend and Kyng were living in the boyfriend\u2019s car when the toddler urinated on himself on Feb. 22, 2025, causing White to fly into a violent rage, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

White slapped Kyng more than 10 times with an open hand in front of at least one family member, cops said. The boy suffered redness and bruises to his face.<\/p>\n

It was a bit more than two weeks later that White and Davis dumped Kyng\u2019s body at the East Flatbush medical center around 11:25 a.m. and left without talking to medical staff, cops said.<\/p>\n

The couple fled in a four-door sedan with Pennsylvania license plates that didn\u2019t match the vehicle, according to police sources.<\/p>\n

Doctors pronounced Kyng dead shortly after he arrived. The boy was in rigor mortis, indicating he had been dead for at least a couple of hours, police sources said.<\/p>\n

He had extensive bruising on his body, which could be linked to lividity, a postmortem condition in which blood pools in the lower parts of the body, causing a purplish discoloration of the skin, the sources added.<\/p>\n

Kyng\u2019s death was not declared criminal at the time, as investigators awaited further tests from the medical examiner, whose initial autopsy was inconclusive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time, close friends called on Davis to come forward and tell police everything she knew about what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdk wtf is going through your head right now but this not you,\u201d wrote Tiqua Blockwood, who identified herself in a Facebook post as little Kyng\u2019s godmother. \u201cAint no f\u2014ing wayyyyyy my godson didn\u2019t deserve that I just got this feeling its more to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re seeing this baby,\u00a0turn yourself in<\/a>,\u201d Sabrina Johnson, who also identified herself as the boy\u2019s godmother, told PIX11 outside the hospital on Monday. \u201cIt\u2019s easier for you to turn yourself in and explain yourself, versus them finding you. It\u2019s a sad situation that the life of a 3-year-old is gone. And we\u2019re going to miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The mother of a 3-year-old boy whose dead body was dumped at a Brooklyn hospital has been charged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63,104246],"class_list":["post-270305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-toddler-murder-charge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
