North Carolina police charged a neighbor Monday with the murder of a five-year-old boy who was riding his bike in his own yard when he was shot at point blank range.
Darius Sessoms, 25, was taken into custody by Wilson police around 24 hours after he approached Cannon Hinnant in front of the young boy's father's house and shot him in the head.
Hinnant's seven-year-old and eight-year-old sisters witnessed the killing, their mother told WRAL.
The motive for the murder is still unclear but neighbors claim Sessoms had dinner with Hinnant's father Austin on Friday and had been over at the house earlier that day.
He lived right next door and the killing is not believed to be random.
A GoFundMe established by a family member claims that the death was motivated by a 'senseless act' and that the young boy rode into Sessoms' yard.
'Sunday, August 9, 2020 a sweet soul named Cannon Hinnant was taken from this world over a senseless act,' it reads.
'A beautiful 5 year old baby boy riding his bicycle was shot by his neighbor point blank in Wilson NC. One minute he is enjoying his life, the next it all ends because he rode into his neighbors yard.'
The young boy was set to start Kindergarten Monday and had just learned to write his name.
'He was just a loving kid,' his mother Bonny, who lives in another part of North Carolina, told the Wilson Times.
Hinnant's family said they have known the suspect for years and did not believe he could be capable of murder.

I think of the movie Law Abiding Citizen in situations like this. Not the ending, of course, but what the father does to those who murdered his family, and those who helped them escape justice.
Is that a “hate” crime? Let’s go and riot.
5.56mm
We should, but we won’t.
if the races were reversed this would be a worldwide headline story: White Man Cold Bloodied Murders 5 Year Old Black Child. There would be rioting, looting, vandalism, and arson. As it is, this story will get ZERO attention from the media/dem complex.
Yep... when Clyde dispenses with Darby.
Yup with a name like Darius I just KNEW the color of his skin. Since its black on white crime, I expect ZERO coverage from CNN.
I hate to be a negative nelly, but I got to guess this guy will get nothing close to the death penalty. He should though.
It’s the limey media not minding its own business, completely obsessed with US news.
Trust me FRiend, they are the last days.
Note my tagline and get ready.
If it was my kid I would probably be dead, as I would rush the police station to put the mother in the grave.
He’d be dead first good opportunity for a shot.....
Thankyou... It is the duty of older Freepers to pass their wisdom on to the "relative" newbies... {:-)
How come sh!t like this is never called a racial crime?
Another thing, always call someone a name if you lose the argument, kind of like the jerk that called me out.
I just want to grab that sonofabitch and pound the hell out him until he is a bloody mess. Then let him bleed to death. This just makes me blind with rage, and I’ve never met either of them.
Exactly.
HANG HIM BY THE NECK UNTIL HE IS DEAD
Already been done.
Scaphism or, colloquially, the boats.
Hang him by his thumbs in the woods.
