A GoFundMe account set up for the parents of slain 5-year-old North Carolina boy Cannon Hinnant raised more than $750,000 as of Monday morning, only five days after the Cannon’s grandmother set up the account.

Last Sunday, 25-year-old Darius Sessoms, who lives next door to Cannon’s father, allegedly shot the boy in the head at point-blank range while he was riding his bike and his two young sisters, aged seven and eight, looked on.
