From the Winston-Salem Journal website:
GREENSBORO — Police are looking for a man involved in a fight late Friday that led to the fatal shooting of a 5-year-old boy.
Murad Anthony Weaver, 22, faces a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Caleb Harris Pearson. Police said Weaver lives with Caleb and the boy’s mother on Fairbrother Street.
Caleb was shot about 11:30 p.m. Friday at a home in the 800 block of Waugh Street. He was taken to a hospital where he later died.
Greensboro Police Capt. Nathaniel Davis said the mother may have provided health services for a resident at that home.
He said a fight broke out between Weaver and someone else at the Waugh Street home.
“It was just a dispute,” Davis said. “It ended in the worst way you could ever imagine.”
He said Weaver is the only suspect in the shooting.
Investigators have not recovered a weapon, so Weaver should be considered armed and dangerous, Davis said.
Anyone with information about Weaver’s location is asked to call Greensboro/Guilford County Crime Stoppers at (336) 373-1000.

Thoughts? It should be noted even Caleb's own mother says she believes this was an accident, Weaver fired the gun in the air out of frustration and it wound up hitting him: myfox8.com/2016/12/17/greensboro-police-looking-for-man-accused-of-shooting-killing-5-year-old-brother/
The way I look at is a 5 year-old boy is still dead thanks to Weaver's alleged careless actions and if he wants any chance at leniency whatsoever it will do him a lot better to turn himself in and accept responsibility.
