The boyfriend of a Long Island woman is on the run from cops after allegedly beating her 4-year-old godson who later died, sources told the Post.
Jonathan Thompson called his beau, Lakisha Pitt, Wednesday afternoon from their Amityville rental apartment and told her that Adonis Reed had fallen unconscious, Pitt’s father told the Post.
The panicked woman told him to immediately call police as she rushed home from work to check on the boy, Willie Pitt said.
Thompson made the 911 call but vanished from the scene before cops arrived, sources said.
Arriving EMS crews found little Adonis unconscious in his pajamas on a couch and attempted resuscitation before rushing him to Good Samaritan hospital where he later died.
Cops initially grilled Pitt, a social worker who takes care of disabled children, before determining that Thompson was the true suspect in the case.
“They don’t know where he is,” Willie Pitt said. “He just left. The police kept asking my daughter if she knows where he is but she doesn’t.”
Pitt described the dead boy as a smiling, happy child who loved his big sister and was just beginning to play video games. He wrote in a school workbook that he wanted to be a police officer when he grew up.
“He was just a happy little kid,” he said. “The boyfriend seemed to take good care of him. This makes no sense.”
Pitt said the kids’ biological mother, Kiara Daniels, is a close friend of his daughter who ran into financial difficulties. Lakisha Pitt was also taking care of her 6-year-old daughter who was at school when the incident took place.
She was placed in the custody of the Department of Social Services yesterday.
Thompson had stayed home from work to watch Adonis because he had a cold, Willie Pitt said.
