Overview
- Maliek, 2, died Wednesday night, according to his mother and law enforcement sources, after days on a ventilator with catastrophic injuries.
- Police and prosecutors say his father, 30-year-old Dayvon Morrison, allegedly beat him Friday inside the Manhattan View Hotel shelter in Long Island City.
- The child did not receive medical care until a 911 call just after 3 a.m. Monday in East Harlem, following a weekend during which he was moved around the city.
- Court documents state the boy suffered multiple brain bleeds, a blown right pupil, a fractured pelvis, a lacerated liver, brain swelling and brain stem damage.
- Morrison, who told police he was intoxicated and 'must have hit' the child, was arraigned on attempted murder and assault, held without bail, and now faces upgraded charges.
