Sheriff Joseph Lopinto said deputies were called around 7:40 a.m. to St. Germaine Apartments after a woman reported her 3-year-old son was dead. Deputies arrived to find the child deceased and the caller — the boy’s mother — suffering from multiple lacerations.

The mother was taken to a hospital for treatment. The child was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Jefferson Parish Coroner’s office identified the child as Josiah Winzy. The office said it would perform an autopsy Tuesday to determine the boy’s cause of death. Lopinto indicated the manner of death appeared to be homicide.

Lopinto said his deputies have not been able to interview the mother at this time and cannot provide any additional information on the investigation.
