WILSON, NC – A 25-year-old man suspected of shooting and killing a five-year-old was taken into custody on August 10th, according to police. Sources say that the suspect shot the child at point-blank range while the victim was riding his bicycle.

Cannon Hinnant is reportedly the name of the five-year-old that was shot on August 9th at a mobile home park off of Archers Road at around 5:30 p.m., which the child later died after being transported to the hospital.

Wilson police and the U.S. Marshals’ Carolina Regional Fugitive Task Force were on the hunt for Darius Sessoms, which they later arrested on August 10th and subsequently charged the man for fist-degree murder.

Very few details have been released by police regarding the motive behind the crime or what relationship Sessoms had with the victim, aside from him being cited as a “neighbor” and the suspect having shot him for “riding into his neighbor’s yard” in a GoFundMe that was established to assist with funeral expenses for Cannon:

“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 neighbor’s yard.”

While the suspect is in custody, there is still an ongoing investigation into the murder. Please follow Law Enforcement Today to receive updates as this case progresses.

North Carolina police have charged a neighbor with the murder of a five-year-old boy who was riding a bike in his own yard when he was shot at point blank range on Sunday evening.

Darius Sessoms, 25, was taken into custody by Wilson police around 24 hours after he allegedly approached Cannon Hinnant in front of the young boy's father's house at 5:30pm and shot him in the head.

Hinnant's seven-year-old and eight-year-old sisters witnessed the killing, their mother told WRAL.

Sessoms lived next door to the family, and the killing is not believed to be random. Neighbors claim he had dinner with Hinnant's father Austin on Friday and had been over at the house earlier on Sunday.

The motive for the killing is still under investigation, but a GoFundMe established by a family member says 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 on Monday and had just learned to write his name.

'He was just a loving kid,' his mother Bonny Waddell told the Wilson Times. 'He had the biggest heart.'

'It’s devastating. No one should ever have to bury their child. No mother should have to go through this.'

Hinnant's family said they have known the suspect for years and did not believe he could be capable of murder.

'We used to play together and I never thought he’d kill someone. A mother now has to lay her son to rest at 5 years old which she should never have to do. He’ll never be forgotten,' Rachel Pipkin, a cousin of Cannon’s mother told CBS.

Police were called to the scene on Archers Road at around 5.30pm Sunday where Hinnant was found with a gunshot wound.

Emergency responders tried to save him and he was taken to the Wilson Medical Center but later died.

Sessoms was immediately identified as the suspect.

He fled the scene in a black 2019 Toyota Corolla and was later located by authorities in a residence in Goldsboro.

Police charged him with first degree murder on Monday, and he is being held with no bond.

He made his first ten-minute court appearance virtually from Wilson County Jail on Tuesday morning.

Wilson County District Court Judge John Britt read Sessoms his rights and the charge he is facing. The suspect said he would be seeking his own attorney to represent him.

He probable cause hearing was set for August 25.

According to the Wilson Times, Sessoms was previously convicted of felony larceny of firearms in Wilson County in March 2016, misdemeanor maintaining a place for a controlled substance in Wake County in April 2016 and felony marijuana possession in Nash County in November 2016.

Court records also show that Sessoms has two pending counts of felony maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance in Wilson County.

Goldsboro Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service task force assisted in his arrest.

'The Wilson Police Department sends its sincerest condolences and prayers to the family of Cannon during this tragic time,' a police spokesperson said Monday.

Neighbor Doris Labrant witnessed the shooting through her window from across the street.

She told WRAL she saw Sessoms run up to the young boy, put the gun to his head and fire before running back to his own house.

'My first reaction was he's playing with the kids,' Labrant said. 'For a second, I thought, "That couldn't happen". People don't run across the street and kill kids.'

On seeing Hinnant's father's reaction, however, she realized that the shooting was real and ran to lock herself inside and call 911.

'Austin ran out of that house screaming and picked him up. They'll never get over it,' she said.

'You don't expect to see somebody shoot someone.

'It's almost like seeing a movie and then all of a sudden it dawns on you it's not a movie.'

She added that Sessoms' parent lived on the street for about 28 years and that she had not previously heard any altercations between the families.

'There was no yelling, screaming,' she claimed.

Neighbors gathered around the scene on Sunday night, shocked that the killing happened in their quiet neighborhood.

'It’s usually quiet here. You might hear cars kind of loud and stuff like that, but as far as this right here going on, no, you don’t see nothing like this. It’s sad, it hurts and justice needs to be served,' said neighbor Frank Harvey told CBS.

Since he had recently met with the father, I am betting the father made him mad about something and he did this to get revenge on the father.

He needs a speedy trial and then a speedy execution. That poor little boy. And his young sisters witnessed it. They'll also have to carry that for the rest of their lives.

He sent that innocent child to Heaven.
He sentenced himself to hell.

The trial will be a few years from now. He may be released on his own recognizance by another idiot judge. He may be sentenced eventually. He may receive a death sentence that might be carried out in 20 or 30 years. I better stop now.

Anyone check the mom's & dad's criminal background? It was a revenge killing for something. He could have shot the boy's sister too.

Too easy for him. Life in solitary confinement with no possibility of parole. Locked up for 23 hours a day to contemplate his crime for the rest of his natural life which might be another 50 or 60 years. Lots of time to think about what he has done.

I will agree with that wisdom Hfc . . . its the weakness of my humanity - coupled with my110% Italian temper - that wants to see it necklaced and sent as slowly and painfully as possible to its eternal reward . . . :dvl2: :dvl1::dvl2::dvl1:

Personally, I do not support long drawn out death sentences. This waiting for 20 or 30 years is not justice in my book. This child only got to live til the tender age of 5. This man will continue to be able live another 20 to 30. That's if he doesn't get life in prison, instead of the death penalty, which would give him another 50 to 60 years. Swift judgement needs to be met. Sitting in solitary confinement can not be compared to his judgement awaiting him in hell.

That (sputter sputter) THING doesn't HAVE enough BRAINS or CONSCIENCE to "contemplate" ANYTHING.

He was (as those above have said
either mad at the dad
or "offended" because the WHITE kid was riding on HIS driveway
Or HIGH as A KITE on meth or something


If I'd been that baby's mother, they'd be prosecuting ME right now for beating that G-D N*****'s HEAD INTO PULP on his own driveway!

Let's Go Brandon!
we had BETTER see a hate crime tacked on to this POS

There can be no hate crime tacked on.

The POS murdering savage is an African,
therefore no hate crime is possible.

It is what it is.

I hate the POS African race, with every fiber of my being.
They are on Planet Earth for one reason,
and one reason only. To be a plague on the White race,
to make the lives of White peoples, a living hell.

Prayers for this tremendously saddened White family,
that has suffered unbelievable pain, because of a
POS African. I wish that we could use that word,
you know that word, the word that perfectly describes
POS Africans such as this one. I am saddened that the
word cannot be used, it pains my soul.

RIP Cannon Hinnant. You will not be forgotten,
when the day that we all know finally arrives
in this royally screwed up ZUSA,
the day when the POS African race is stacked up
like cord wood, by the vastly superior White race.

I am saddened, and have no more to say.

Please pray for the return of Christ.

Please be safe everyone. The end finally arrived on May 25th,
with the martyrdom of the POS Saint George Floyd.

Regards to all.

Nowski
