NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – The family of 2-year-old Montrell Williams went to police before the young boy was found dead, but “the police department did nothing,” Rev. Kevin McCall said Monday.

The boy’s father, 20-year-old Arius Williams, has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of manslaughter related to the boy’s death, police said.
