A five year-old boy named Cannon Hinnant was recently shot in the head at point blank range while riding his bike in his yard. The murder was witnessed by his sisters, aged 7 and 8.
The suspected shooter is a 25 year-old man named Darius Nathaniel Sessoms. The national media’s silence on this story is deafening. Why could that be?
