We are learning more about a suspect in a boy's death at a north Tulsa apartment complex earlier this month.

Keyshawn Markham was found dead July 2 at his Mohawk Manor Apartment in the 2500 block of 37th Street North.

Tulsa Police say the boy's father, Terry Green, 25, was the only one home with the boy at the time.

The Tulsa Police affidavit shows the autopsy revealed Keyshawn had suffered severe trauma to his stomach area which was not consistent with a falling down stairs.

The state Medical Examiner' Office also told investigators there were unusual marks on the boy. The report says Green admitted blowing marijuana smoke into the child's face the morning the child died. It also says Green told Tulsa Police he "popped" Keyshawn with a board and hit him with his knuckles the night before his death.

Tulsa Police found the board in a closet in the apartment.
