From the Wilson Times:
Police are searching for a Wilson man accused of shooting and killing a 5-year-old on Sunday afternoon.
Darius Nathaniel Sessoms, 25, is wanted on a first-degree murder charge in the child’s death, police said Sunday night.
“The Wilson Police Department is using all its resources to locate and apprehend Sessoms at this time,” Capt. Steve Stroud said in a news release.
Sessoms was last seen driving a black 2019 Toyota Corolla with North Carolina license plate TCH-2773. Stroud said the sedan's front bumper is missing. After releasing an initial image of the suspect vehicle Sunday night, police released a second surveillance photo showing the car's front end and passenger side early Monday.
Police responded to a reported shooting at 5100 Archers Road in the Windemere Mobile Home Park at 5:33 p.m. and found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound, according to Capt. Steve Stroud.
Officers and Wilson County EMS medics performed emergency first aid and the child was rushed to Wilson Medical Center. Stroud said the 5-year-old died from the gunshot injury.
Sessoms was 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, according to N.C. Department of Public Safety records. His probation was revoked twice in 2017, resulting in separate three-month stints in prison.
Court records show Sessoms has two pending counts of felony maintaining a vehicle, dwelling or place for a controlled substance in Wilson County.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Wilson Police Department at 252-399-2323 or Crime Stoppers at 252-243-2255.

Thoughts? This is a breaking news case which means Sessoms is still at large at least as of today's posting date (August 10th, 2020). Additional articles identify the child as 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant. A Go Fund Me page for Cannon claims that Sessoms allegedly shot Cannon at point blank range while he was riding his bicycle. In other words, not that those cases aren't just as horrible but most of the fugitive cases involving the deaths of children we've seen so far this year on the forum are unintended targets caught in senseless gun violence crossfire. This alleged piece of crap, based on Cannon's family's account, allegedly shot and killed a 5-year-old child riding his bike INTENTIONALLY.
All I can say is Sessoms is automatically at the moment by #1 Most Wanted fugitive for 2020 and he needs to be arrested yesterday.
