Boy, 5, shot dead at point-blank range ‘for riding into neighbor’s yard’

[TimmyRules]

Besides “it doesn’t fit the narrative” any other thoughts why minimal national coverage outside Fox??? (Again I stopped watching news so I’m basing that comment off posts here)...

Maybe:
Perception already enough racism towards blacks by whites ...:think2:

Less likely to generate controversial reaction (riots, looting) that folks can’t help but watching...:think2:

No white spokesperson to speak on behalf of the family like seems to happen when reversed...:think2:

Just trying to keep it civil and as some have suggested, have a conversation...

Parents of slain 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant want death penalty for suspect



The parents of the 5-year-old boy allegedly shot in the head by a neighbor in North Carolina want their son’s killer to get the death penalty.

Parents Bonny Waddell and Austin Hinnant said they want justice for little Cannon Hinnant, who was gunned down on Aug. 9 while riding his bicycle outside his dad’s house in the city of Wilson.

“My baby didn’t deserve this,” the grieving mom told CBS-affiliate KCTV.

“I want the death penalty and I’m going to seek it.”

Police allege Darius Sessoms, who has lived next door to Cannon’s dad for eight years, walked up to the child while he was playing outside with his sisters and shot him point-blank in the head.

The girls, ages 7 and 8, “know [their brother] is in a better place” but are devastated, said Waddell.

“This man took my girls when he took my baby,” she said.

A motive for the boy’s senseless murder has yet to be released by cops.

Dad Austin Hinnant said he and his son’s accused killer were on good terms and even had dinner and drinks the night before the murder.

“There wasn’t anything between me and him, any bad blood whatsoever, for him to have a reason to do this,” Hinnant said.

Sessoms, 25, is being held without bond on a charge of first-degree murder.

First-degree murder is punishable by death in North Carolina under certain circumstances, such as if the felony in question is “especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel,” according to state law.

So I am hearing (I have no clue if true or not) that the kid’s father is a meth dealer and the shooter is one of his customers.

Again, not sure if 100% true

But to shoot a 5 year old in the head?

Sounds about right. Guy was freaked out of his mind it sounds like. Plus if the roles were reversed they would be saying...."the black kid shouldn't of walked on the white mans property."
