<\/br> <\/span>The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and the Hawthorne Police Department received at least two reports concerning a 2-year-old Long Beach boy<\/a> before the child was killed, investigators said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

At least one of the reports came from the boy\u2019s relatives, said Officer Jackie Bezart of the Long Beach Police Department, which is investigating the death. She could not provide details.<\/p>\n

Deandre Fitzgerald Green <\/a>was pronounced dead Saturday at Long Beach Memorial Hospital. His mother\u2019s boyfriend, Hector Ernest Jr., 26, of Hawthorne was arrested on suspicion of killing the boy, police said.<\/p>\n

Hospital officials called police after the boy was taken\u00a0there by Ernest and his mother. Hospital staff tried unsuccessfully to revive Deandre, whose body showed signs of physical abuse, police said.<\/p>\n

Detectives believe neighbors in the 3100 block of Springdale Drive may have heard Deandre crying or being abused.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Mark McGuire or Det. Greg Krabbe at (562) 570-7244.<\/p>\n
