Police say the boy, 3-year-old Kyng Davis, was covered in bruises on his face and body, and was pronounced dead moments later. Police say the woman left quickly, getting into a car driven by an unidentified man.
"They were talking, where she went? They was running back forth, finding her in the hospital. I guess she left," Makeeba Green said.
The two drove away down Clarkson Avenue. Police are searching for them.
The boy's grandmother and godmother went to SUNY Downstate Hospital Monday morning to identify they child's body and assist in the ongoing investigation into how he died.
"The grandmother is coming for y'all"
The boy's grandmother, Kayatta Foster, was distraught and looking for answers.
"I'm the grandmother. It's hurting me, y'all. I don't know what to do right now," Foster said. "Whoever did this to my grandson, the grandmother is coming for y'all," she told CBS News New York.
"When I see his face, the cutest little dude you ever wanted to see. And it's just so sad that he's no longer here," Sabrina Johnson, Kyng's godmother, said.

"You are no longer in pain. God gained an angel, and I'm so sad that it took only three years of him being on the world, because he could've had so much more. He could have been so much more," Johnson said.
