NYPD Officers Freeze The Apartment Where An 11-year-old Boy Is Missing And Where The Mother Of The Child Was Taken Into Police Custody At 614 Howard Avenue

NYPD officers freeze the apartment where an 11-year-old boy is missing and where the mother of the child is taken into police custody at 614 Howard Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, United States, on October 3, 2025. Police in the New York City borough of Brooklyn investigate a disturbing scene of a missing 11-year-old boy who has never attended public school. As the child's mother denies the boy is in her apartment, sources say that a K-9 dog gets a hit on the refrigerator for human blood. Investigators now wait for a search warrant to process the crime scene. When ACS is originally called to the apartment on reports of child abuse, they say the mother denies having a child, but a birth certificate with the woman as the listed mother is recovered.
