A 4-year-old boy passed away in a Brooklyn homeless shelter after suspected exposure to fentanyl. Found unresponsive at the Women in Need Inc. shelter, he was transported to Maimonides Hospital but could not be saved. The nonprofit confirmed the tragedy and pledged to assist in the NYPD investigation. Reports indicate the boy's parents used fentanyl before exposing him to the drug, and authorities recovered drugs from the shelter. The city's medical examiner is set to determine the cause of death, while investigations are progressing with potential arrests pending.
"Win is devastated by the tragic death of this innocent child who came to reside with us in one of our shelters. We are working closely with the NYPD to support their ongoing investigation."
"We remain committed as ever to fostering a safe and supportive environment for all families that call a Win shelter home."
