The mother of a 3-year-old boy whose dead body was dumped at a Brooklyn hospital has been charged with murder after an autopsy ruled the toddler's death the result of child abuse, officials said.

Sunshyne Davis, 25, was arrested Wednesday - more than a year after little Kyng Davis' dead body was abandoned at SUNY Downstate Medical Center on March 9, 2025. She is charged on an indictment with murder, manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child, prosecutors said.

Her arrest follows a ruling by the city's medical examiner that her son's death was caused by blunt force trauma, starvation and dehydration. Davis was ordered held without bail after pleading not guilty at her arraignment in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

Also charged with murder in Kyng's death is his mother's boyfriend, Robert White, 39, who has been held without bail after being arrested just days after the child died for repeatedly slapping the toddler during an incident that occurred several weeks earlier. White's arraignment remained pending Wednesday.

In the assault, White, his girlfriend and Kyng were living in the boyfriend's car when the toddler urinated on himself on Feb. 22, 2025, causing White to fly into a violent rage, prosecutors said.

White slapped Kyng more than 10 times with an open hand in front of at least one family member, cops said. The boy suffered redness and bruises to his face.

It was a bit more than two weeks later that White and Davis dumped Kyng's body at the East Flatbush medical center around 11:25 a.m. and left without talking to medical staff, cops said.

The couple fled in a four-door sedan with Pennsylvania license plates that didn't match the vehicle, according to police sources.

Doctors pronounced Kyng dead shortly after he arrived. The boy was in rigor mortis, indicating he had been dead for at least a couple of hours, police sources said.

He had extensive bruising on his body, which could be linked to lividity, a postmortem condition in which blood pools in the lower parts of the body, causing a purplish discoloration of the skin, the sources added.
