A Memphis boy was shot in the head and left to die in front of his grandmother’s Binghampton home on Thanksgiving morning.
Anthony Mason was gunned down when he tried to retrieve his stolen gun from two other teens who faked a gun trade.
15-year-old Conner Tucker has allegedly admitted to firing the fatal shot and killing Mason while trying to rob his gun.
18-year-old Edio White confessed to helping Tucker lure the victim into a fake weapon trade and serving as the shooter’s getaway driver.
“This city’s totally out of control,” a neighbor said. “That child is someone I’ve been knowing since a little bitty kid, to see him laying in the street like that. It hurts.”
The teen suspects were charged with first-degree murder, especially aggravated robbery and unlawful carrying or possession of a firearm.
“It was just sad the way they did him. They didn’t have to kill my nephew. What did he do so mean, what did he do to make you be just so evil to kill him,” the victim’s aunt questioned, through tears.
