Overview

  • Kyng Royal Foster, a 3-year-old boy, was pronounced dead shortly after being abandoned at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn on Saturday morning.
  • The boy's mother, Sunshine Davis, 24, and her 38-year-old boyfriend are wanted by police and are believed to have fled the scene in a white sedan with mismatched Pennsylvania plates.
  • Preliminary examinations suggest the child may have already been deceased when brought to the hospital, showing signs of rigor mortis and possible lividity, though bruising was initially suspected.
  • Family members revealed that the boy had been the subject of a custody battle in 2022, with his maternal grandmother seeking custody due to concerns about the mother's alleged drug use.
  • The NYPD has launched a manhunt for the couple, as family members, including Kyng's grandmother and godmother, plead for the mother to turn herself in and provide answers.
