FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Police are looking for a 28-year-old man who they believe killed his girlfriend's 3-year-old son.

Corey Gordon, a resident of North Lauderdale, is accused of killing Kyhese Coach, the 3-year-old child of his 20-year-old girlfriend Chantel Haye, while she was at work.

"Corey, turn yourself in," said Chantel Haye.

According to Broward Sheriff's Office, detectives responded to Coral Springs Medical Center Monday afternoon after Haye went to the emergency room with her 3-year-old son's lifeless body.

Haye was at her first day of work at a telemarketing company in Boca Raton. Gordon, her boyfriend of about a year, agreed to take care of her son, according to BSO.

When Gordon picked up Haye from work, at approximately 3:45 p.m., she noticed something was wrong with Khyese.

Haye initially thought her son was sleeping, but realized his body was cold when she touched him.

According to police, Gordon began to cry and told his girlfriend there was something wrong with Khyese.

"He hurt him," Chantel Haye said. "He hurt him to the point where he was lifeless. He took his life away from him. And away from me and my mom."

Kyhese's grandmom, Glenda Haye, said Kyhese's injuries were severe.

"She look at his stomach and there was bruises all over his stomach and like he punch him in his temple," Glenda Haye said.

Glenda Haye said her grandson told her just three days ago that Gordon punched him in the stomach.

"Khyese was so afraid of him," she said.

The family says Gordon drove Haye and Kyhese to Coral Springs Medical Center where he dropped them off and drove away. Investigators are trying to find him.

Chantel Haye says she trusted Corey Gordon.

"I never thought that he would hurt my son," Chantel Haye said.

Neither BSO nor the Broward Medical Examiner's Office would release any details about the Kyhese's death, other than saying it was a homicide.

Glenda Haye says Gordon should be punished.

"He need to get caught and pay for what he did," she said.

Detectives have obtained a warrant for his arrest and a search warrant for a relative's home he often frequented in North Lauderdale.

Anyone with information on Gordon's whereabouts is urged to contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or www.browardcrimestopper.org. A reward of up to $3,000 is available for information leading to an arrest.
