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.

Should we lynch?
Same here but more rage than anything.
I should not even need to day it but colors don’t matter here. The maggot needs to die soon.
Any lawyer who agrees to defend him should be at least locked away and ostracized from society. He does not merit defense. There is no plea and no excuse.
Oh! Horrible. My research is done, thank you.
What time does the riot start?
Prays to Cannon's family...
In the olden days when something like this happened, a section of the city would burn down, and strange(comment removed before the monitor sees it) but then it would be safe to be on the streets for years.
Do away with sin. That is what caused it.
Reading and comprehension are tough for you I see.
Is this what an abortion looks like to God?
Nope. Need to read it first for that to happen.
Drawing and quartering.
Lots of hogs to be fed in North Carolina aren’t there?
True but you can’t say it anymore. Beyond that, the mugshot is of a man who really does look to seriously mentally disturbed. There you have it, poor impulse control, mentally disturbed and very possibly doped out on some drug combination. Just the guy you want to invite to dinner.
Words escape me.
He should be strange fruit
Hattip Miss Holliday
But the reality is this, and all the other murders of the innocent, (babies shot in their strollers, or riding in car seats with their families, or caught in crossfire, or killed in the womb), all of this comes from the devil.
(And for those who want to make it only about race: Need I mention Jeffrey Dahmer-One of the most demonically possesed white individuals, ever to walk the earth? Evil comes in all colors.)
IMO- This murder of the innocents is a sign that we need to turn to God more than ever, and ask for help in overcoming this darkness, that has been loosed on the world.
Prayers for this boy's family, and for all families who are grieving the loss of their little ones.
Lord please help us. Amen.
Lynching existing to deter crimes like these
Vigilantism
Whatever folks want to call it
Groups prone to inability to act right whether race rapists or old West Bank robbers or cattle rustlers
Fear of reprisals worked
How come I haven’t heard anything about this on the network news? /major sarc
