A grief-stricken mother collapsed and had to be carried by relatives after learning her six-year-old son had been shot dead. Kingston Frazier from Mississippi, who went missing Thursday after thieves stole his mother's Toyota Camry, was shot at least once in the back seat of the vehicle, which was abandoned in a muddy ditch, said Jackson Police Commander Tyree Jones.
Two men, Dwan Wakefield and DeAllen Washington, have been named by law enforcement as persons of interest in the death.
Wakefield, 18, is in custody of the Madison County Sheriff's Department, and authorities are still searching for Washington.
Frazier had gone missing after 1am Thursday when a man took the car from the parking lot of a Kroger supermarket in Jackson.
About nine hours later, following a child-abduction alert and widespread publicity, a man reported the Camry was on the side of a dead-end road in the suburb of Gluckstadt.
Officials publicly announced the boy's death while surrounded by grieving family members.
The mother, Ebony Archie, left the boy in the car and left the car running while she went inside the store, Hinds County sheriff's deputies said. The store's parking lot is patrolled by sheriff's deputies, including one in a golf cart.
Security video shows that after Archie left, a silver Honda Civic drove up, a man got out, and drove away in the Camry.
A child-abduction alert was played repeatedly on local newscasts and police and family members issued public appeals for help.
The car was eventually found 14 miles to the north, just off Interstate 55, which also runs in front of the supermarket.
Frazier's body was taken for an autopsy at the state crime lab and the car was towed away by a Highway Patrol wrecker.
