5-Year-Old Boy ‘Executed Point Blank’ by Criminal Thug

Fact checked

A 5-year-old boy was allegedly executed at “point-blank” range with a gunshot to the head by a convicted felon while playing with his sisters outside his house on Sunday evening in Wilson, North Carolina.

5-year-old Cannon Hinnant’s brutal murder was reportedly witnessed by his two young sisters and a neighbor who couldn’t believe what she saw. 

I saw him just run right up to him and [he] put the gun right up to his head and shot him,” neighbor Doris Labrant told WRAL. 

Darius Nathaniel Sessoms, who is the Hinnant’s next-door neighbor, is being charged with first-degree murder.

From WRAL, “Wilson man wanted in fatal shooting on 5-year-old apprehended”:

Family members said Cannon Hinnant was playing outside his father’s house when he was shot in the head. The boy’s two sisters, ages 8 and 7, saw their brother get shot, according to Cannon’s mother.

Cannon was taken to Wilson Medical Center, where he died.

No details about a possible motive for the shooting have been released, but police said the shooting wasn’t random.

Sessoms lives next door to Cannon’s father, and a neighbor said that the two men had dinner together Saturday night and that Sessoms was at his neighbor’s home earlier Sunday.

Doris Labrant, who witnessed the shooting, said Sessoms ran up to Cannon, put the gun near his head and fired 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.”

She said she realized the gun was real when she saw Cannon’s father’s reaction to the shooting, and she quickly went inside her home, locked the door and tried to call 911.

“You don’t expect to see somebody shoot someone,” she said.

Cannon’s family and friends are demanding “Justice For Cannon” on social media. 

WRAL released a follow-up report after Sessoms was caught by members of the U.S. Marshals Service Carolinas Regional Fugitive Task Force, Goldsboro police and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office:

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,” The Wilson Times reported. “His probation was revoked twice in 2017, resulting in separate three-month stints in prison.”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.”

Cannon’s family and friends are demanding “Justice For Cannon” on social media. 

Cannon’s life mattered!!!” wrote Heather Morgan on Facebook. “My 3 yr old grandson says to me ‘Mimi, I miss Cannon so much. Why did he have to be in that road Mimi? I just want to play with him.'”

Please join his family and show them they have all the support they could possibly have through this unbearable time,” Morgan said.

    • N!99ers were always there…they were segregated away for human safety…The jwe filth brought n!99ers here in the first place and eventually ended that segregation and the rights of White humans to protect themselves….Now they are opening the jails that housed the animals….

  1. Evil has been unleashed. It is abound, all over, none are immune.

    I have a 5 year old Nephew living 25ft away (next door) that I love and will defend with all the force I possess.

    I myself popped off last night over a stupid question requiring a 1 word answer. I “heard” the question being asked in a derogatory manner, but even still simply could have been answered yes or no. Instead I jumped to the defense and lost my temper…. all before I knew what was happening!!!

    We are in a Battle for our very minds Y’all. The only blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of our enemy, Lucifer.

    We are fallen, sinful being’s by nature. BUT GOD has given us a way forward and that is Christ whom took our place and paid the ransom for our Souls! If we give in and say “I can’t do it, I’m a POS…” then we lose. If we get back up and say “Forgive me Father for I have sinned against you, please show mercy and forgiveness upon me a sinner….. and TEACH me to better control my emotions.” Then GOD wins, and we know…… HE will WIN in the end.

  2. People are reduced to pawns by having had Common Law stolen from them ,by thieving hypocrites peddling ” democracy” and community values .And they dont even know it.Black and white both deceived to suit the intentions if divide from within to conquer from without .A joint operation by two partners in global crime.

  3. The N should have still been behind bars, a freaking career criminal that had no business roaming freely among us. Why’s the father hanging out with the F in the 1st place.

  4. All negros need to pay reparations for that negro’s actions, all black people are racist murderers of small white children. We need to start with public hangings and don’t stop until the murdering negros put an end to their savage neanderthal behavior. If their social interaction with good law abiding Americans is violence, looting, arson, and murder then the time has come to fight fire with fire, fight violence with violence, fight murder with murder. It’s time to loot and burn all and any black businesses, black homes, and concentrate on punishing the black children especially, nip it in the bud.

  5. CANNON HINNANT–Say his name, America!
    Cannon’s Life Mattered! Five years old. The day he died Cannon learned to write his name. He was excited to start Kindergarten on Monday– a beautiful and happy child. This guy, Sessoms should NEVER have been freed. He should have been locked up for violating his probation. This is what happens when DEMOCRAT-run counties and Soros-funded District Attorneys go soft on crime, and systematically downgrade serious felony prosecutions. WAKE UP! (Not to be confused with “getting woke.”) THIS is what Democrats want to do across America. The results would be tragic for all of us.

  6. I am a usually a fan of Dmitrys work however, not this one. I understand that this story is extremely devastating, to say the least but that is not an excuse for discrimination. In the article, he refers to black people as ‘thugs.’ -Dmitry said: “The national media will blow up every story of a THUG getting shot by police to help trigger rioting and looting across the country but when a CRIMINAL THUG reportedly shoots a five-year-old white child in the head all we hear is crickets.” So unarmed black men who are murdered by law enforcement are thugs? and black men that commit crime are criminal thugs? What about the large amount of white criminals that target black females? or just black people in general? they are also ignored by the media. What about the recent lynchings that has been happening in America at the hands of whites, are those perpetrators also allowed to be called thugs? What happened to this little boy is a great tragedy and i sincerely hope the perpetrator is punished, however one should remember to be careful to not give the elites what they want- division instead of unity between all races. The actions of a few people of a whole race, should not determine how the entire race is treated or referred to.
