Gunman revealed in shooting of six-year-old

A sworn statement shows a Mississippi teenager charged with murder in the death of a six-year-old boy told investigators that the boy was shot by another of the three suspects. We’re also learning that the six-year-old was shot multiple times.
The statement was obtained by the Associated Press from a source with knowledge of the case.
Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Rusty Clark says in the sworn statement that 17-year-old Dwan Wakefield of Ridgeland told Clark and another investigator that 19-year-old Byron McBride of Pickens stole the car with Kingston Frazier inside and then shot the six-year-old.
Wakefield, McBride, and 17-year-old DeAllen Washington of Ridgeland are being held without bail in Madison County awaiting Monday morning court appearances. McBride could face the death penalty.
