6-year-old King Carter shot dead while playing with friends

The little boy was playing with his friends in Pinewood, north of Miami when he was shot by unknown gunmen.

According to the Miami-Dade Police Department, two unknown black males exited a dark four-door sedan and began shooting, striking Carter.

The gunmen and driver then fled the complex in the vehicle in an unknown direction, CNN reports.

6-year-old King Carter made it to Jackson Memorial Hospital before giving up the ghost.

Police are looking for three black men in connection to the shooting.

“Clearly, he’s not the target. He happened to be an innocent bystander, outside playing, doing what kids do,” Miami-Dade police Director Juan Perez told WPLG.

“I’m angry. Our officers are angry. The community behind me’s angry, so hopefully they’re angry enough that they could provide some information that will lead to the arrests of the individuals,” he added.

Santonio Carter, King’s father, who lost his teen brother to an accidental shooting in 2003 posted a Facebook video from outside the hospital. In it, he asked for prayers as his family mourns their loss..
