father here at the time of the incident. >> a very happy, vibrant young baby. he was very happy, full of life. he could harm nobody. i don't understand how anyone could harm him. >> reporter: two days after he was rushed with life- threatening injuries from this second floor apartment in roxbury after what police are calling a trauma incident, the 3-year-old boy died. boston police responded to sunday night. detectives have been seen coming and going since then. dcf tells wbz the department has been involved with the child's family. just last friday, two days prior to the incident, the social workers contacted the the report? the boy was well fed, clean and had no behavioral issues. for now they are only classifying the child's passing

happy here. >> it is a little different in other parts of the nation. snow moving through parts of the midwest tonight. you see there in parts of eastern nebraska and iowa seeing the snow, but otherwise, look at the rain. it is going well up into michigan and even thunder well up into michigan. northeast and grand rapids tonight so a lot of warm ire again in the east. even in new england, this is going to change over to rain during the day tomorrow. the temperatures tonight have bottomed out. upper 20s to lower 30s across much of the area. warm in the city centers. good news for us because it will warm up just enough to avoid any icy concerns. tomorrow morning at the bus stop, about 32 degrees. you'll want to bring the umbrella because by the end of the day the rain will be moving in. the clouds thickening in the morning. the one area we'll watch tomorrow morning is northern worcester county and southwestern new hampshire. there could be a brief period with freezing rain. so something to keep close tabs on.

from west to east as we head through the day. in southeastern massachusetts, it won't be until late in the afternoon. a lot of the day will be dry. as we approach the commute, look at where the rain is setting up. right across the boston area, along the pike, metro west. it should be a pretty slow go as we head through tomorrow night and very slowly, that rain will continue to press eastward, just starting to leave the cape and the islands on thursday morning. it is going to be a spring like rain. we're in the 40s for most of the day. our warmest temperatures tomorrow are actually in the evening and the first half of the overnight that's where they spike well up into the 50s. even well up into southern new hampshire. without any snow pack, there is not a lot of resistance for that warm air. nothing to hold it back tomorrow. as you look at the records, 57 in worcester. i think we'll come up just short. boston is very close. and our high temperature will probably be at this time tomorrow evening so something to watch. very warm regardless tomorrow night. also watching the winds moving

i think our strongest wins -- winds will coincide with the warmest temperature. some gusts 40 to 50 miles per hour in southeastern massachusetts as well as cape anne and blustery inland as well. a very wind swept rain and poor travel conditions tomorrow night. then thursday morning, the front just offshore. maybe a few sprinkles, still holding on to the cape. another wave moves up along it late thursday night into friday morning, and that could bring us the chance for light snowfall. it doesn't look major now, but the best chance around the cape and the islands and maybe the south coast. the next significant storm we're watching is early next week and the signs are there that between & and wednesday, a good chance for a coastal storm. it is too early for any details to know where this is going to track. that is the one to watch. important because the my mayor, a week from tonight. that could have an impact. in between all of that, this weekend looks petty quiet.

early next week will be the next interesting thing to keep an eye on. >> back to campaign 2016 tonight. we're taking a closer look at the key issues driving this election. no and first up, im-- and first up, immigration. jon keel ser here with the border wars. >>reporter: immigration has been a hot button issue for years, but donald trump's call for walling off the u.s.-mexico border, estimated cost in excess of $25 billion, has turned up the heat. trump says mexico will pay for it. his critics say that is ribbed and that has become a -- that has -- is ridiculous and that has become a major flash point in the border wars. >> who is going to pay for the wall? >> mexico! >> reporter: it has become donald trump's signature issue, his vow to wall off the mexican border, but according to the d.c.-based center for immigration studies, that is --

he is right that we need to do a better job of border security, but his idea is presented in a very cartoonish way without nuance, you can't fence the entire border a fence is very effective where it can be controlled but in other areas it is a complete waste of money. roar marco rubio has been on the defensive over his role in the 2013 gang of eight immigration reform bill. the critics say it amounts to amnesty. >> it once and for all deals with the issue of those who are here legally. >> reporter: for macko to suggest our record is the same is like suggesting the fireman and the arsonist have the same record because they're both at the scene of a fire. like ted cruz, vaughn has little use for the stance ten by marco rubio. >> rubio has been running from his very clear record in fay very of comprehensive

anger over a flood of illegal immigrant labor undermining wage growth is valid. >> bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. they're rapists and some i assume are good people. >> reporter: but she balks at some of trump's rhetoric. >> the reality is immigrants, even illegal immigrants are no more or less likely to commit crimes than anyone else. >> reporter: on the democratic side, vaughn says bernie sanders' record in vermont suggests he might be that hillary clinton is right on immigration. >> reporter: bernie sanders has in the past had some strong and principalled disagreements with these policies, particularly on increasing guest worker programs. but sanders opposes a trump- style border wall while clinton acknowledges voting for a fence in the senate, but dismisses trump's plan. jeb bush and chris christie oppose the wall concept while

now, the critics of the wall often cite the construction and maintenance costs, but there are political costs here as well with latino voters accounting for an estimated 16% of eligible voters. the candidates have to make a choice. follow trump's lead new and maybe pay a price later in the general election. now, some big news about our primary coverage we want to share with you tonight. starting thursday night at 11:00 we'll be sharing the findings of the best new hampshire poll yet. the wbz-umass-amhurst poll. we'll find out which personal qualities of the candidates are connecting with voters and which ones are turning them off, and we'll track the shifting allegiances of voters in the wake of the surprise outcomes in iowa. all of that and more in the wbz- umass amhurst poll, the results starting thursday night here on wbz. david, lisa? >> we just got a poll in 100% that thought your story was awesome. >> thank you.

no score in the first period. jimmy hayes but rite there to pounce on the rebound and it 1- 0 bruins. the time now tied at 1-1. david crechey fakes the shot and finds him for the second of the game. 2-1, b's. 26 seconds later. he takes the rebound down low and finally posts it home making it 3-1 black and gold and looking good. later in the third, 3-2, b's. he scores his second of the game. a beautiful redirection right past tuukka rask and we're headed to overtime. and the leafs capitalize four- on-three. the back hand and that's it. the leafs come back to win it 4- 3 in overtime. >> i think we knew that we had better, but we just wanted to go out and have it there and we started to do that but just fell apart.

is a matter of you're afraid to lose so you're playing it safe. we go out there in the third and determined to win and score two goals and we turn around and we get sloppy again. so i don't know if it is relaxing or losing focus, but certainly not good enough right now for a hockey team to think that we can contend if we keep making those kind of mistakes. the celtics also in action tonight against the knicks. but little used tyler zeller sparked the c's in the second half finishing strong on the fast break. a double-double, 16 points and 10 rebounds. and led by evan turn here had a big night here with the jay. and also a double-double. 14 points and 10 rebounds. later in the fourth, the celtics up eight. isiah thomas fins him with the long outlet pass. the finish, and he had 13 points and five boards. finally it is thomas with the nail in the coffin. he finished with a team high 20
