$750,000 donated to cover funeral expenses for 5-year-old boy fatally shot in N.C.
An online fundraiser to cover the funeral expenses for 5-year-old Cannon Hinnant, who was fatally shot last week, has received more than $750,000 in donations.
Cannon was shot on Aug. 9 while he was playing outside of his Wilson, N.C. home with his 7- and 8-year-old sisters, his family says.
A neighbor, Darius N. Sessoms, was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting.
The GoFundMe page was set up by Gwen Hinnant, who says in the fundraiser’s description that she is the boy’s grandmother.
