Mother, Boyfriend Arrested in Death of Brooklyn Toddler

A 27-year-old woman and her boyfriend have been arrested in connection with the beating death of the woman's 2-year-old son in their Brooklyn home.

Police say 31-year-old Reginald Williams was arrested on murder charges. The boy's mother, Teresa Foster, was arrested on charges of weapons possession and endangering the welfare of a child. Both were arrested Saturday and are awaiting arraignment.

Aiyden Davis was found unresponsive inside the Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment at about 10:30 p.m. Friday after a 911 call of an assault. The boy was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

A spokeswoman for medical examiner's office says the cause of death was blunt impact injuries to his head, torso and extremities.

A spokesman for Administration for Children's Services says they are investigating.
