Dwan Diondro Wakefield, 17, D’Allen Washington, 17, and Bryon McBride Jr., 19, are all in custody and will all be charged with capital murder for the heinous killing of 6-year-old Kingston Frazier, said Madison County District Attorney Michael Guest.
Kingston was last seen about 1:15 a.m CST, Thursday morning in the parking lot of a Kroger grocery store in Jackson, Miss. His mother, Ebony Archie, left him asleep in her Toyota Camry while she briefly went inside of the store.
While Archie was inside, two men in a two-door 2014 Honda Civic Coupe (Wakefield’s, Washington’s, and McBride’s exact roles in Kingston’s murder have not been revealed), pulled alongside her Camry and the man in the passenger seat jumped into Archie’s car and drove away with Kingston inside.
At 9:47 a.m. CST, approximately nine hours after Kingston was abducted, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation canceled the Amber Alert sent out for him just as reports began to trickle in that he had even found.
As previously reported by The Root, initial reports were that Kingston had been found, but his condition was unknown.
As the news spread of Kingston’s death, his mother, Ebony Archie, collapsed and screamed, “I told y’all that s—t wasn’t right, I told y’all.”
Other family members, including aunts, uncles, and Kingston’s grandfather, Walter Williams, began to scream and cry out in pain.
David Archie, Kingston’s uncle, remembered his nephew as a loving, funny, playful, just “great, great” child who knew just how much he was loved. “[We] just can’t imagine that something like this would happen, that people would have in their heart to do that to a 6-year-old,” Archie said. “Even if I was mad at the world, I couldn’t do this to a 6-year-old. To me, it’s hatred. There is nothing out there worth taking a 6-year-old’s life.”
