New Jersey man Sean Tate accused of killing 4-year-old son
At approximately 3:24 p.m., on Monday, February 19, 2024, Franklin Township Police Department responded to an area hotel for the report of an unresponsive 4-year-old male child.
Officers found the unresponsive boy emaciated and with several visible injuries, authorities said.
The child was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased at 5:24 p.m.
Tate told police his son’s injuries were from previously hitting his head on an air conditioning unit and falling off a toilet, officials said.

An autopsy performed on February 4, 2025, concluded that the child’s manner of death was ruled a homicide.
