A young boy was found dead in his Brooklyn home Wednesday, and sources say his aunt is now being questioned by police.
Police have identified the boy as 3-year-old Ethan Ali.
Investigators say he was found unconscious and covered with bruises at a home on Rockaway Parkway around 1:30 p.m.
Ethan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sources say his aunt was babysitting him when he was found.
"I feel sad right now. I feel like I want to cry," said Devon Evans, the victim's great-uncle. "He's a human being and he's a child. You shouldn't go through something like that. If it's beating and killing, that's wrong. That's very wrong."
The cause of death has not been determined, and the case remains under investigation.
