The man accused of murdering 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant while he was riding his bicycle not far from his front door in 2020 has been indicted on murder charge
On December 22, a grand jury indicted 25-year-old Darius Sessoms on the charge of first-degree murder, according to ABC 11.
Sessoms' is scheduled to appear in court next on Jan. 24.
On August 9, 2020, Sessoms walked up to where Hinnant was playing outside his father's home in Wilson, North Carolina and shot him in the head, according to WRAL.
Austin Hinnant said he heard a gunshot as his fiancée walked into the house at around 5:30 pm. Cannon's mother said the boy's two sisters, ages 8 and 7, saw their brother fatally shot.
"The first thing that went through my mind was maybe he just fell off his bike," the farther said. "The closer I got to him, the more I realized it was something far more serious."
"[You] can't imagine what it's like to hold your son in your arms with a gunshot wound to the head, and his blood is running down your arms," he said.
Hinnant was taken to Wilson Medical Center, where he later died.
