One or more shooters opened fire on a child playing in the front yard of a Kansas home, killing him, authorities said. The attack Wednesday evening in Kansas City, Kansas, when it was still daylight, doesn't appear to have been a "random act," police Maj. Violeta Magee told reporters at the scene.

Police didn't release the name or age of the child but family member identified the victim as 6-year-old Sir'Antonio Brown, CBS affiliate KCTV reported.

Officers found the wounded boy in the front yard. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Magee said.

"Somebody knows who did this," Police Deputy Chief George Sims told KCTV. "Do not retaliate. Do not confront them. Do not shelter them. Call TIPS. Call the police department, so that we can follow up and bring this investigation to a quick conclusion and bring these shooters to justice."

Police haven't said whether they think more than one person was involved in the attack, or whether the intended target was the boy or the adult he was with.

The somebody who knows may be a family member. Other than an accident or vendetta, why else would this have happened. It’s possible that it was random, but I’m not so sure.

Well until people in these shitty communities start voting for law and order nothing will change.

You may want justice for your child but the voting that alot of these people do says otherwise.

A man charged in the fatal shooting of 6-year-old Kansas City, Kansas, boy Sir'Antonio Brown is now in local custody.

According to the Wyandotte County Detention Center, 20-year-old Lakevis Sloan was taken in by law enforcement on Wednesday, May 31, after being extradited from South Dakota.

Sloan is one of two suspects that have been arrested for the murder of Brown, who was fatally shot while playing outside his KCK home in May.

Sloan, and a 17-year-old male were arrested without incident at a Greyhound Bus station in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, about 360 miles from where the shooting took place.

Sloan pleaded guilty to two combined cases in Kansas City, Missouri less than a month before the fatal shooting. He was given four years probation for pleading guilty to those felony charges.

Brown's family believe the suspects were targeting Sir’s 20-year-old uncle.

A week before the suspects were found, KCKPD officers arrested Cassandra Sledge for obstructing the prosecution of this case. Detectives say she owned the car the shooters used.

KCK Police Chief Karl Oakman says a third suspect still at large. Sloan and the teen charged in the case both face second-degree murder charges.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree will decide if he plans to charge the 17-year-old suspect as an adult and what bond he’ll ask the judge to impose.
