WASHINGTON — The D.C. police are searching for answers in the killing of a 1-year-old boy in his home Wednesday night.
Officers went to a home on Benning Road, in Southeast, Wednesday evening after they were called about an unconscious child. They found Carter Sanders unresponsive.
D.C. Fire and EMS rushed him to the hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
A medical examiner found conclusive evidence he was killed, attributing Sanders’ death to blunt force injuries.
The child is the youngest to be killed in D.C. this year. The District’s homicide rate is 44 percent higher than at this time last year.
