NEW YORK -- A 1-month-old child has died after being found unresponsive at a Staten Island home Saturday.

Officers were sent to NYCHA's West Brighton Houses around 6:45 a.m. in response to a 911 call.

When officers arrived, they found the 1-month-old boy unconscious and unresponsive. Emergency responders took the child to Richmond University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

According to police, the 1-month-old had visible signs of trauma on one of his arms.
