The death of an 11-month-old Alexandria boy has been ruled a homicide.

That was the determination announced Friday morning by law enforcement officials after an autopsy conducted earlier this week on Shawn Sylvester.

He died Sunday after sustaining serious injuries last Friday.

No arrests directly connected to the incident have been made and the state attorney general's office says the investigation into his death is ongoing.

GoFundMe page was started to help raise money to pay for his funeral expenses.
