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.
KCK police are asking anyone with information about the suspects who shot and killed 6-year-old Sir’Antonio Brown to call 816-474-TIPS.
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.
Just hours before the deadly shooting, Sir was in kindergarten class at West Park Elementary School, the station reported. »
