No suspects into homicide of three-year-old Puyallup boy

Authorities in Washington haven't identified any suspects in connection with the death of Zebidiah Izaya Ronald Pluff, who was a member of the member of the Puyallup Tribe.

Pluff, 3, suffered some type of injury prior to his death on April 31 but authorities aren't providing details. Detectives are interviewing people who may have been around the boy during his final days.

"The injuries could have happened a couple days before," detective Ed Troyer told KOMO-TV. "So we have to narrow that down and then do a time line and figure out everywhere he'd been and who he'd been around and who can be responsible for this."
