Prosecutors were investigating the death of a 13-year-old boy who suffered a fractured skull on a Queens playground last week.

Guarionex Montas, an honor student at Public School 127 in East Elmhurst, was at the school's playground with at least two other boys, including his 15-year-old brother, when he cracked his skull Friday.

The injured teen went home about 5 p.m., complained of stomach pains and started bleeding from the mouth a few hours later. He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital Center, where doctors found the fracture and a brain injury.

The Queens boy died Saturday. His death was ruled a homicide due to blunt force trauma to the head.

Witnesses, including the victim's brother, Jose Cepeda, told relatives and police wildly conflicting accounts about the incident. The teens initially told cops Guarionex got hurt during a basketball game.

But Jose later changed the story, saying a 12-year-old boy punched Guarionex in the head.

"I don't want to get the other boys in trouble," the victim's brother told relatives, according to Juan Perez, 28, the boys' cousin.

The 12-year-old, whose name is being withheld by the Daily News, has ties to a gang, a police source said. The case has been sent to Family Court.

Guarionex was expected to be buried in the Dominican Republic today.
