An Elmhurst man has been indicted for murder, endangering the welfare of a child and other crimes in connection with the death of his three-year-old son, according to the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
He has also been charged with physical abuse to a second child in an Elmhurst shelter last month.
Shaquan Butler, 26, is from Elmhurst.
According to the charges, Butler was in his apartment at the Pan American Hotel in Elmhurst at approximately 7:40 p.m. on Nov. 13 when he struck his three-year-old son numerous times.
The son suffered lacerations to his liver and internal bleeding.
According to the charges, the child’s mother and his two younger siblings were in the apartment at the time of the alleged assault.
Responding to a 911 call, the New York Fire Department found the victim unconscious on the floor with visible bruises to the head, body and extremities.
The child was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival, and the medical examiner determined that the child died from blunt force trauma to the torso.
A medical examination of a second child, age 2, revealed physical injuries consistent with child abuse.
Butler was arraigned Dec. 20 on a eleven-count indictment, charging him with murder in the second degree, two counts of manslaughter in the first degree, manslaughter in the second degree, assault in the second degree and six counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Butler has been ordered to return to court on Jan. 31. He faces up to 40 years to life in prison if convicted.
“As alleged, this parent failed his primary duty as a protector, killing one of his own children by callous force and allegedly injured another,” said Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz in a statement. “We will not forget this child. The defendant will be held fully accountable for his actions.”
