Police responded to the family's apartment on Veronica Place in Flatbush after the infant's grandmother called 911 for a wellness check just after 7:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Responding officers found the infant, Adonnys Kendall, in a duffel bag in the closet of the apartment. First responders pronounced the baby boy dead at the scene.
Gynae Kendall, 25, is now charged with concealment of a human corpse following the discovery.
The medical examiner will determine the infant's cause of death and how long he was dead.
